For detailed information on how to use and configure the HTTP Server Input task to serve
documents over the internet, refer to PlanetPress Workflow documentation.
The Process that Receives Data from Capture OnTheGo Users
HTML documents that were downloaded can be used to collect information. This information
can be extremely varied, ranging from a simple signature confirming the reception of a parcel, to
a complete report including numbers, notes, pictures, etc. Once they have finished collecting
information on a given delivery or client, Capture OnTheGo App users simply need to tap the
Submit button on their intelligent device to send all this information to their organization via the
internet. Note that only the data is sent. Once on the receiving end, the data may be merged
with the same HTML document, but it may also be processed in a variety of ways, as required.
For this to happen, we
need one last process.
This process also
includes an HTTP Server
Input task, but in this
case, the task is used to
reply to POST requests,
rather than GET
requests. When a
Capture OnTheGo App
user taps the Submit
button, a POST request
is sent to a PlanetPress
HTTP Server. The server
replies by collecting the
information, which is
passed down to other
tasks. The process may
include multiple
branches and a large variety of tasks. Some or all of the collected information may be used, as
required, in a variety of ways.
• It may be passed on to other systems.
• It may be merged with the same form used by the Capture OnTheGo App user, or with a
different one, and then used to generate a PDF for archiving.
• It may be used to generate a client email.
Since this part of the processing is handled by PlanetPress Workflow, you can use its renowned
feature set to do virtually anything.
For detailed information on how to use and configure the HTTP Server Input task to reply to
POST requests, refer to PlanetPress Workflow documentation. Also refer to the same
documentation to know how to add those tasks that will let you send or process the received
data as required.
