This module allows Drupal sites to trigger automated workflows on external services like Pipedream, n8n, and Zapier whenever events happen within Drupal. It uses ECA workflows to send data to and receive responses from these external platforms to automate various tasks.
The ECA External Workflows module enables Drupal sites to trigger automated workflows on external platforms like Pipedream, n8n, Zapier, and Make.com directly from ECA workflows. When content is created, users register, or any Drupal event occurs, automatically execute automation sequences on external services.
This is a minimal initial implementation. Community contributions are welcomed to expand provider support.
Features
- ECA Integration: Adds "Execute External Workflow" action to your ECA models
- Multiple Providers: Support for various external automation platforms
- Secure Authentication: Integrates with Key module for credential storage
- Dynamic Data: Use ECA tokens to send Drupal data to external workflows
- Response Handling: Receive response tokens for workflow chaining
- Pipedream Support: Complete Pipedream provider included
Use Cases: Send user registrations to CRM systems, trigger email campaigns when content is published, process forms through external validation, sync content with external APIs.
