This module enhances Webform by allowing submissions to be processed asynchronously in the background using the Advanced Queue system. This is beneficial for offloading time-consuming tasks like API calls or file processing, improving website performance and user experience.
The Webform Advancedqueue module provides a Webform handler that sends webform submissions to an Advanced Queue job. This allows you to process submissions asynchronously using the Advanced Queue system, which is ideal for offloading time-consuming or external processing tasks from the main web request.
The primary use case for this module is:
- Offloading webform submission processing to background jobs (e.g., sending data to external APIs, processing files, or triggering batch operations).
- Integrating webform submissions with custom Advanced Queue job types for scalable, decoupled workflows.
- Improving site performance and user experience by handling heavy-lifting tasks outside the main request/response cycle.
Features
- Choose the queue name to process the webform submission
- Choose JobType to handle the job
