Gravity Flow Incoming Webhook Extension GPL v1.7.0

Gravity Flow Incoming Webhook Extension (GPL) Overview

The Gravity Flow Incoming Webhook Extension enables administrators to create steps in the workflow that wait for input from an external source via a webhook. This extension provides two key use cases for integrating external systems with Gravity Flow, offering enhanced flexibility and automation.

Key Features

1. Wait for External Input:
   • After a form submission, a step in the workflow can be configured to hold entries until a trigger is received from an external system. This is useful when you need to wait for external confirmation or data before proceeding with the workflow.
2. Create Entries from External Systems:
   • The extension allows you to create entries in a Gravity Form from an external system. This will automatically trigger the workflow, enabling seamless integration between Gravity Flow and external systems.

Use Cases

• Hold Entries Until External Trigger: After a form is submitted, the workflow can pause at a specific step until a trigger (such as data or a confirmation) is received from an external system. This is ideal for situations where external approval or data is required before proceeding with the next step in the workflow.
• Automated Entry Creation: External systems can create new entries in a Gravity Form via the webhook, automatically triggering the workflow to begin processing the new entry.

Requirements and Important Notes

• SSL Certificate: The Incoming Webhook Extension should only be used if the server has an SSL certificate installed. This is essential for secure communication between the external system and your server.

Highlights

• Seamless External Integration: Integrate with external systems and trigger workflows based on external data or actions.
• Flexible Workflow Automation: Use webhooks to hold entries or create new ones from external systems, streamlining processes and reducing manual intervention.
• Security: Ensure secure data transfer by using SSL certificates, maintaining the integrity and confidentiality of the communication.

The Gravity Flow Incoming Webhook Extension is a powerful tool for administrators who need to integrate external systems with Gravity Flow workflows. By using webhooks, this extension allows for dynamic and automated workflow processes, ensuring that external triggers or data can easily influence the flow of work within your organization.
