formio / formio-webhook-receiver

An example webhook receiver application.

Form.IO webhook receiver

This application serves as an example webhook receiver for the https://form.io platform.

Setup

First, download this application, and then run the following.

npm install

You can then run the example server by typing the following

npm run start:basic

or

npm run start:validation

Using with NGROK

You can test this locally by using this along with a utility called NGROK. Follow the instructions @ https://ngrok.com/download to download and get started to create a localhost tunnel. You can create a public tunnel to your locally running receiver by typing the following command.

ngrok http 4001

This will connect to your webhook receiver and provide a public URL to access it.

Version                       2.1.14
Region                        United States (us) 
Web Interface                 http://127.0.0.1:4040 
Forwarding                    http://b68934c2.ngrok.io -> localhost:4001
Forwarding                    https://b68934c2.ngrok.io -> localhost:4001

This tells me that I am now able to connect to my locally running Webhook receiver by navigating to http://b68934c2.ngrok.io. I can now use this within my Webhook Action settings @ Form.io.

Form.IO Setup.

Create an application and a form within the https://form.io platform. Click on Actions, and then add a new Webhook action. Then configure the webhook action to point to your server with the following configurations. Your settings should look like the following.

• username: test
• password: password123
