Start a Bubble workflow with a simple request
When a request contains straightforward values, let Notis trigger the Bubble API workflow that handles the next step.
Trigger
Webhook received
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Action
Trigger Bubble Workflow via GET
Trigger a Bubble API workflow using an HTTP GET request. API workflows are server-side workflows in Bubble that can be triggered externally. Use GET for simple workflows that don't require a request body (parameters passed as query strings). For workflows requiring complex data or file uploads, use the POST version instead. Before using: The workflow must be created in Bubble's workflow editor and marked as "Expose as a public API workflow". The Bubble app must have API access enabled in its subscription.
Why this helps
A simple action can still get delayed when someone must switch tools and start the app workflow manually.
- Start an existing Bubble process from a request
- Pass straightforward query parameters
- Reduce manual handoffs for simple actions
