SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This Skill enables you to expose your Kinetic Platform workflows as custom RESTful APIs (WebAPIs) and to trigger workflows automatically based on platform events (Webhooks), bridging the gap between your platform and external systems or internal event-driven processes.

Core Features & Use Cases

WebAPIs: Define custom REST endpoints backed by workflows, allowing external systems or frontend applications to invoke platform logic. Supports synchronous operations with a timeout and asynchronous patterns via callbacks.
Webhooks: Configure workflows to automatically execute in response to platform events like form submissions, user creation, or record updates.
Use Case: Integrate a third-party CRM by exposing a WebAPI that creates a Kinetic Platform record when called, and use a webhook to notify an external system when a Kinetic Platform approval is completed.

Quick Start

Create a WebAPI that accepts a POST request and triggers the 'Process External Data' workflow.

FAQPage Schema

How do I expose a workflow as a REST API endpoint?▼

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.

How do I trigger workflows automatically based on platform events?▼

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.

Can I integrate external services with the Kinetic Platform using webhooks?▼

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.

Do I need to configure security policies for custom RESTful endpoints?▼

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.

What is the best way to handle asynchronous operations when invoking a workflow API?▼

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.

Why use event-driven architecture for workflow automation?▼

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.
