webapis-and-webhooks

To expose a workflow as a REST API, you create a custom WebAPI within the Kinetic Platform backed by your workflow tree, allowing external systems to invoke platform logic via synchronous operations or asynchronous callbacks.

You trigger workflows automatically by configuring Webhooks that subscribe to platform events like form submissions, user creation, or record updates, executing specified workflow trees in response to those events.

Yes, you can integrate external services by exposing WebAPIs for external systems to invoke your platform logic and using webhooks to notify external systems when specific platform events or approvals are completed.

Yes, configuring custom RESTful endpoints requires setting up security policies and event subscriptions to ensure proper access control and manage the integration with external services and asynchronous operations.

The best way to handle asynchronous operations is by implementing callback patterns within your WebAPI configuration, allowing the workflow to process external data and notify the calling system upon completion without hitting synchronous timeouts.

Event-driven architecture automates business processes by bridging the gap between your platform and external systems, triggering workflows automatically via webhooks upon platform events like record updates or form submissions.
