Event-Based Automation

Event-Based Automation allows your system to trigger integrations the moment something happens. Instead of relying on scheduled polling, your API sends events to FlowMate in real time

FlowMate processes these incoming events immediately and executes the corresponding Flows. This creates reactive, low-latency integrations that respond directly to changes in your application.

With Event-Based Automation, you can:

• Provide real-time integrations without relying on polling intervals

• Build Flows without a Connector, using your API as the data source

• Define custom events and payloads that match your system exactly

• Enable deeper and more flexible workflows, driven by your own business logic

Understanding the FlowMate process

The FlowMate integration follows a structured process, from creating a flow to executing it with real data. Below is a high-level overview of how it works:

1. User creates a flow: A user creates a new flow in FlowMate using the Integration Center or Integration Portal. Each flow is assigned a unique ID, such as 1234.

2. Retrieving flows for active users: As a FlowMate Partner, fetch all active flows via API to get the flow IDs.

3. Match flows to users: Link each active flow to the corresponding user in your system.

4. Set up the webhook: Configure a webhook to send data to the user’s flow.

5. Trigger the flow: When data is sent to the webhook URL, the flow executes with the provided payload.
