Why this helps
A time-sensitive alert can require extra handoffs before it reaches the CommCare workflow used by field teams.
- Start from an external webhook carrying an urgent alert.
- Submit alert details through the ODK-compatible CommCare endpoint.
- Keep the submission consistent with the form structure and metadata you provide.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Abuselpdb and CommCare once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in the portal or tell Notis from any channel.
- 3In one instruction, ask Notis to submit the incoming alert using your ODK-compatible XForm XML and a unique instanceID.
- 4Choose the webhook trigger and where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real alert and verify the form submission in CommCare.
Questions about this workflow
What starts this automation?
An external system or backend sends an HTTP request to the Notis webhook. Abuselpdb does not provide a listed trigger event.
What must the ODK-compatible submission include?
It needs properly formatted XForm XML with metadata, including a unique instanceID. Provide the applicable form and metadata values.
Can Notis submit an alert without a configured form?
No. The action submits form data, so you need to supply a compatible XForm and the values available in the incoming request.
