  • The REST plugin will submit your form's data to a REST endpoint URL. Rest endpoint URL's are provided by third party sites via their API's to enable you to interact with their service. In the case of this plug-in we would be adding records into the 3rd party's site, the records would consist of data found in the Fabrik form being submitted.

    The plug-in will send a CURL request to the end point url, the accompanying data is sent as XML.

    • Username - If the 3rd party site requires authentication then enter your username here
    • Password - If the 3rd party site requires authentication then enter your password here
    • Endpoint URL - The 3rd party's API URL to post the form's data to
    • Parent node name - The encapsulating XML node name for the data. This normally describes what type of data is being posted, e.g. 'ticket'
