plugin-workflow-http-trigger

HTTP Request Trigger plugin for NocoBase workflows. It exposes an HTTP endpoint that can start a workflow run, and ships with a companion "Wait for HTTP Request" action node that pauses a workflow until an external caller resumes it.

Features

• Trigger NocoBase workflows from any system that can call an HTTP endpoint.
• Control authentication requirements and allowed HTTP methods per workflow.
• Capture request body, headers, and query string values as workflow variables.
• Pause a workflow mid-run and continue execution when an external webhook fires.

Installation

npm install plugin-workflow-http-trigger

After installing, rebuild your NocoBase instance and enable the plugin in the admin interface.

Usage Tips

• Configure expected query parameters, headers, and body fields in the workflow designer to unlock better variable suggestions for downstream nodes.
• Expressions: the value exposed as Trigger variables / Request data is serialized JSON. Wrap it with JSON.parse(...) before accessing nested keys, for example JSON.parse(Trigger variables / Request data).orderId.
• Use the generated webhook URL and token when working with the "Wait for HTTP Request" action node to resume suspended workflows.
