Workflow API Integration
Axvero supports flexible integration with external workflow APIs, allowing organizations to automate and extend their business processes beyond the core platform. This approach replaces traditional webhooks with a more robust, configurable API integration model.
Key Concepts
To set up workflow API integration, organization administrators should provide the following details:
- Base API URL: The root URL for your workflow API (e.g.,
https://api.example.com/workflows). - API Key / Credentials: A secure API key or other credentials for authentication. These will be stored securely and used in request headers.
- Custom Headers: Any additional headers required for your API integration (e.g.,
Authorization,Content-Type).
Axvero will use these details to connect and communicate with your workflow API for automation purposes. You do not need to provide these as JSON; simply fill out the configuration form in the organization settings.
Security Best Practices
- Always use HTTPS for API calls.
- Store API keys and credentials securely.
- Include authentication headers in every request.
- Limit data exposure to only what is necessary for the workflow.
- Log all API interactions for audit and troubleshooting.
Benefits
- Customizable: EaRamanach organization can connect Axvero to their unique workflow engine or business system.
- Secure: API keys and credentials ensure only authorized systems can interact.
- Scalable: Easily add or update endpoints and rules as business needs evolve.
- Decoupled: Organizations maintain control over their external processes, while Axvero provides the event-driven triggers.
Typical Use Cases
- Triggering external approval or review processes.
- Notifying third-party systems of status changes.
- Integrating with custom business logic or workflow engines.
