Introduction

Flowingly provides an API through which step field values can be saved/updated. This provides Flowingly customers an option to integrate third party systems with Flowingly.

API

Flowingly API to update step fields is available at the following url:

1 HTTP POST {baseurl}/public/flow/{flowIdentifier}/step/{stepIdentifier}

  • {flowIdentifier} - Flow Identifier to uniquely identify such as FLOW-12345.

  • {stepIdentifier} - Name of the step in a flow as defined in Modeler.

For example:

https://publicapi.flowingly.net/public/flow/FLOW-604/step/New Customer (Debtor) Form

Process

The API upon receiving the request first authorizes the request with access token in Authorization header. Once request is authorized then request payload model and field values are validated. Then the step field values are updated. Following diagram depicts this process.

Supported Field Types

Following table list outs field type currently supported for update via API and their example values.

Validation

Each field is validated against the rule configured via modeler. If the validation rule set contains any custom error message then those are used by the api when returning validation error response. If no such custom error message is set then an appropriate default validation error response is returned.
