Send webhook intake directly to CommCare
Give every intake source the same CommCare submission path.
Trigger
Webhook received
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Action
Submit Form to CommCare
Tool to submit an XForm to CommCare following the OpenRosa standard. Use when you need to submit form data with complete XML including required metadata fields (deviceID, timeStart, timeEnd, username, userID, instanceID).
Why this helps
Multiple intake channels create inconsistent records and force staff to reconcile them by hand.
- Unify intake channels
- Reduce manual reconciliation
- Create repeatable submission handling
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect CommCare in Notis once.

- 3Tell Notis how to interpret the incoming HTTP payload and submit a complete CommCare form using only supplied values.
- 4Pick a webhook trigger and copy its endpoint to the sending system.
- 5Choose a report channel and test with one real payload.
