Why this helps
Important details in free-form notes can be slow to review and re-enter into mobile program forms.
- Process supplied text before form submission.
- Reduce repeated reading and re-entry of notes.
- Keep the form submission tied to the incoming request.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Abstract and CommCare once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, or tell Notis what you want from any channel.
- 3Describe how Abstract should process the supplied text and how the result should be used with the supplied CommCare XForm XML.
- 4Pick the webhook trigger and choose where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real example and include all required XForm metadata.
Questions about this workflow
Will Notis infer missing case fields from the note?
Only ask it to use information present in the supplied text or provide the missing values yourself.
What does CommCare need for submission?
The action submits an XForm following OpenRosa and requires complete XML, including deviceID, timeStart, timeEnd, username, userID, and instanceID.
