How to automatically save a form to a file system?

Confluence User - 07 Oct, 2020

Hi,

I need to automatically save a form (PDF of it) in a specific folder (configurable in the app) of our file system during a workflow execution? I went through Joget features but could not find such functionality.

Is there a plugin that does that?

Further to that I have another use case where the PDF of the form has to be sent to a content server. This content server has a set of APIs that can be called for this purpose. Can anybody point me to an example of a plugin or source code that call third party APIs from Joget?

Thanks

forms;pdf;file;filesystem;api

Hi,

Don't think there's any plugin for such functionality, you'll probably have to use bean shell or create your own plugin for it.

There are sample references:

File handling in Bean Shell Form Store Binder

File Upload Form Element Integrated with Amazon S3

Also found a question that seems to be related How to transfer a file to my ext. File share(NextCloud)

Hope this helps!

Hi, there is an example plugin tutorial dealing with PDFs at How to develop a Download PDF Datalist Action which might be helpful.
