Submit updated OneDrive ODK packets to CommCare
Keep corrected ODK packets moving from shared storage to the field system.
Trigger
OneDrive Item Updated Trigger
Triggers when an existing file or folder is modified in OneDrive. Uses Gmail-style state management and only detects actual modifications, not new creations.
Action
Submit Form ODK Compatible
Tool to submit form data using ODK-compatible endpoint for Android client compatibility. Use when submitting XForm data to CommCare. Requires properly formatted XML with metadata including unique instanceID.
Why this helps
A modified XML packet can remain stranded in OneDrive while CommCare still holds the earlier submission.
- Process corrected packets quickly
- Validate XML before submission
- Keep mobile data workflows moving
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect OneDrive and CommCare once in Notis.

- 3Tell Notis to validate the modified packet, confirm its unique instanceID, and submit it through the ODK compatible action.
- 4Pick the OneDrive Item Updated trigger and choose a report channel.
- 5Test with one real updated packet.
Questions about this workflow
What if the instanceID is reused?
Tell Notis to flag duplicate or reused instanceIDs for review before submitting.
