Chronoforms v7 - call web service

digitaladvice 17 Nov, 2023

Hi, is it possible to insert a button in a form that invokes a rest or soap or json web service.

Thanks and regards

Answer

Use the CURL action to call a web service

results are returned as a variable {var:curl_action_name}

you can post any data, just use whatever values for the CURL call, you can set the value of json using PHP action:


return '{1,2,3}';

then in your curl parameters:

myjson_var={var:php_action_name}
