About outgoing triggers

The integration process has two ways to interact with magnolia. One is the way out from magnolia. Here are some examples:

• You want to send a newsletter subscriber to a marketing automation tool
• You want to activate a social media post after a page was published
• You want to add all form entries in a CRM

For that you need to develop a custom trigger. This could be in the publishing workflow module for example with a custom webhook or in the magnolia form module. If you use your system as a headless system you probably consider doing this directly within the frontend.

About incoming actions

The second way is to execute an action within magnolia based on an outside trigger. Possible scenarios are:

• Automate page creation from an outside trigger mostly social media
• Upload an image in the dam from a trigger in dropbox or google drive
• Create a post based on a doc in google docs

To integrate this you need to add a custom REST Endpoint within magnolia which end up in a customized action inside magnolia cms.
