cFlows: A powerful workflow automation tool
cFlows automates workflows effortlessly with instant triggers, dynamic variables, and seamless integrations. 🚀
Getting started
Once you have created a cFlow, you will get a url like https://cronhooks.cflows.app/daf27063-9494-4bc0-a349-55ee7fbe8eg7. This URL serves as an entry point to trigger your automation from anywhere—making integration and execution seamless.
You can trigger your cFlow using a simple HTTP request. For example, using cURL:
curl -X POST https://cronhooks.cflows.app/daf27063-9494-4bc0-a349-55ee7fbe8eg7 -d \
{
"email": "[email protected]",
"subject": "Welcome!",
"sendAt": "2023-02-01T13:00:00"
}
Request building
cFlows provides flexible request customization, supporting flow-level variables and global variables in all subsequent requests:
- Use
${_GLOBAL['VARIABLE_NAME']}to access global variables. - Use
${_ENV['VARIABLE_NAME']}for flow-level variables. - Reference request parameters using
${req['param_name']}. - Utilize responses from parent requests:
${responses[0]['body']['your_param']}. - Access nested parameters with
${responses[1]['body']['your_param']['nested_param']}.
This dynamic approach allows you to build adaptive workflows that interact seamlessly across multiple applications.
Builtin functions
cFlows includes powerful built-in functions to enhance automation. These functions empower users to perform calculations, format dates, generate unique identifiers, and apply cryptographic hashing within their workflows.
