Streamline testimonials within Strapi

How it works

The workflow titled "Streamline testimonials within Strapi" is designed to automate the process of collecting and managing testimonials in a Strapi application. It begins with a trigger that initiates the workflow whenever a new testimonial is submitted. The first node in the workflow is a webhook, which listens for incoming HTTP requests containing testimonial data. Once a new testimonial is received, the data is processed through a series of nodes that validate and format the information.

Following the webhook, the workflow includes a function node that transforms the incoming data into the required format for Strapi. This node ensures that all necessary fields are present and correctly structured. After formatting, the workflow proceeds to an HTTP request node, which interacts with the Strapi API. This node is responsible for creating a new testimonial entry in the Strapi database using the formatted data.

Upon successful creation of the testimonial in Strapi, the workflow can optionally send a confirmation message or notification to the user who submitted the testimonial. This is facilitated by an additional HTTP request node that can be configured to send a response back to the user or trigger another action, such as sending an email notification.
