Invite a CommCare web user from a webhook
Route approved onboarding signals into a consistent CommCare invitation process.
Trigger
Webhook received
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Action
Create Web User Invitation
Tool to create an invitation for a new web user in CommCare. Use when you need to invite a user with specific role and permissions. Requires 'Edit Web Users & Edit Access API' permissions.
Why this helps
Access onboarding stalls when internal approvals do not reach the system that creates invitations.
- Starts invitations from existing systems
- Keeps role and permission intent explicit
- Reduces manual handoffs
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect CommCare in Notis once.
- 2Create an automation that explains how to use the webhook payload to prepare the invitation and role.
- 3Choose a Notis webhook as the trigger.
- 4Choose a report channel and test with one approved onboarding request.
Questions about this workflow
Does the webhook replace approval controls?
No. Send only approved requests and state the required role and permission context.
What if the payload lacks an email?
Have Notis report the missing invitation detail and stop the incomplete request.
