Background Tasks?

[kyanaloe (kyan.lynch@aloedigitalsolutions.com)]

Is there a method for running background tasks now that WeWeb is full stack? For example, sending reminder emails the day before an event.

Not at the moment but it’s planned

Great!

Also, is it possible to call a weweb API endpoint from an external site? I tried using the webhook link for a backend workflow but couldn’t get it to work.

@kyanaloe

is it possible to call a weweb API endpoint from an external site?

Yes, it is

You can copy the webhook URL here:

But you’ll need to publish the app and replace the base URL with the base URL of your published app.

e.g. https://blablabla-production.weweb.io/ instead of https://blablabla-editor.weweb.io/

Does that make sense?

I’m excited to hear that this is possible! But I’m still having trouble getting it to work. My app’s domain is app.aloemeded.com. I tried https://app.aloemeded-production.weweb.io/{workflow_info} but I ran into a 403 error.

Hey Kyan, I’m sorry I missed your reply on this and didn’t get back to you sooner. Have you been able to sort this out?
