Project Status Update Requests from HTML form sent via HTTP to cloud automation platform Usage

The file in the "sources" folder allows to setup an automaton that receives HTTP requests.

The automaton can thus be triggered from any machine that is connected to the Internet: computer or server or smartphone or other.

The data embedded within each HTTP request should represent a request from a customer of the company. For example, a request from a customer asking to postpone the start of a project, or a request from a customer asking to update the specifications of a project by adding a requirement or a success condition.

Using the data embedded within the HTTP requests, the automaton will perform:

Tone analysis of the comment embedded within the test requests,

Verification of billing status of the requester,

Verification of status of ongoing projects for the requester,

Insertion of a followup task in the Project Management Platform,

Insertion of a message in the Group Messaging Platform.

Tests

The file within the test folder allows you to send HTTP requests to your automaton.

You will need to set the first variables of the file, in order for example to indicate the endpoint url of your automaton.

Then, when this script will run, the test requests will be sent to the automaton.

An error is reported within a log file when the remote webhook does not reply within the expected time span (30 seconds by default, customizable by modifying the script).

The HTTP payload body of the response is also written into the log file.

A few additional pieces of information are also reported within the log file: total communication time, HTTP response code, value of the "Content-Type" HTTP header, etc.
