Send documents with annotations to web service

Prev Next

When integrating a REST web service into a workflow, you can attach the document as part of the web service request. Now, there is a new option for this: you can send the document as a PDF with annotations. Previously, you could only send the original document or a PDF without annotations.

Components: Web-based Workflow Designer, Workflow Designer Desktop App

Applications

  • If integrating with DocuWare is not an option, send a complete document, including additional information from stamps and further annotations, to another system via their API to save it there.

  • Update such a complete document in another system via their API.

Benefit

  • Enhanced automatic document exchange between systems or services

Here's how

  1. Add a web service activity to your workflow and select either a REST web service or a predefined endpoint, such as the DocuWare Platform API.

  2. Select an endpoint that sends data (POST or PUT).

  3. In the Request body, select Send document and then PDF with annotations.
