Submit scheduled research findings through CommCare ODK
For recurring workflows that depend on researched information, schedule a form submission once its XML payload is complete.
Trigger
Recurring schedule
Notis starts this workflow on a schedule, such as daily, weekly, or during business hours.
Action
Submit Form ODK Compatible
Submit form data using an ODK-compatible endpoint.
Why this helps
Recurring data collection can stall when researched details still need to be manually packaged for an ODK-compatible submission.
- Run recurring submissions on a chosen schedule
- Use the ODK-compatible endpoint
- Require a unique instanceID in the XML metadata
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect AgentQL and CommCare once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and give it a name and prompt.
- 3Tell Notis what research to use and provide properly formatted XML with required metadata, including a unique instanceID.
- 4Choose a notis_cron schedule and select where run reports go.
- 5Test with one real example and review the submission report.
Questions about this workflow
What makes the XML suitable for this action?
It must be properly formatted for the ODK-compatible endpoint and include required metadata such as a unique instanceID.
Can the schedule run without a complete payload?
The form submission requires a complete, valid payload. Provide any required data the connected apps do not return.
