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.
