> Questing for the WeWeb team: is it possible to trigger a workflow via custom JavaScript in WeWeb? I have 3rd party forms (Paperform) embedded in WeWeb via custom JS on an HTML element ([screenshot here](https://capture.dropbox.com/fxDxPJnYjalms9cu) — it was a nice workaround inspired by [this comment](https://community.weweb.io/t/create-custom-audio-player-bind-with-collections/281/5)). Paperform’s JavaScript API has [submission events](https://paperform.co/help/articles/embedded-form-submissions/) that would be create a nice trigger to a WeWeb workflow (such as a page redirect), but I haven’t found any resources to doing this. So, I’m wondering—is it possible to call a function/workflow …

but I can’t figure out a solution to my particular problem based on either.

Basically, the question is this: how do I trigger a WeWeb workflow from an event in my Supabase backend?
