Events on Form Submission

What Are Events on Form Submission?

When a user submits a form, Jodoo saves the entered data. You can also configure processing rules to run automatically upon submission, reducing manual work and improving data processing efficiency.

The following capabilities are currently supported:

Capability

Description

Automatically triggers a front-end event when a user submits a form, allowing the form to send a custom request or invoke a plugin.

Validates the entered data when a user submits a form. If the data does not meet the configured conditions, the submission is blocked and the user is prompted to revise the data.


When to Use This Feature?

You can use events on form submission in scenarios such as:

  • When an order is submitted, validate whether sufficient inventory is available.

  • When an expense request is submitted, validate whether the requested amount exceeds the specified limit.

  • When an onboarding form is submitted, invoke a plugin to open the new employee onboarding page.


What Does It Look Like?

1)Actions

Take a budget request as an example. When an employee submits an expense request, a front-end event is triggered to retrieve the real-time available balance of the corresponding budget account from an external financial system.

The balance is automatically populated into the form and used to validate the submission, preventing requests that exceed the available budget.

2)Data Validation

Take product number validation as an example. You can require the Product No. to contain five digits. If the entered number does not meet this condition, the form cannot be submitted.
