Output Workflows

The Output Workflows allows you to define powerful finishing workflows, after a form has been successfully submitted. To give you a slight overview of the idea behind all this, we'll show you some scenarios you may want to achieve:

Default Scenario

You simply want to send all the form data as email to a given admin and to the user for confirmation.

• Create Output Workflow
  • Add a new Email-Channel and select a valid pimcore mail template
  • Add another Email-Channel and select a valid pimcore mail template
    • Note: Using the %FIELD_NAME% placeholders in the to field for example is still valid!)

Extended Scenario I

You want to offer an event registration form. After a client has submitted the form, you want to send him a confirmation email and store the data in a structured DataObject called Event.

• Create Output Workflow
  • Add a new Email-Channel and select a valid pimcore mail template
  • Add a new Object-Channel and select the resolver strategy
  • Map your form fields with all the object fields of Event

Extended Scenario II

You want to offer an event registration form. After a client has submitted the form, you want to send him a confirmation email and submit all the data to some external services via API.

• Create Output Workflow
  • Add a new Email-Channel and select a valid pimcore mail template
  • Create a Custom Channel

As you can see, these are powerful tools which allows you to define workflows without writing a single line of code. Want to learn more? Let's start with the Email Channel.
