Info
  • Form and Document Actions functions for workflows are very similar to those for forms. The term "Form Actions" used on this page also refers to "Workflow Actions".
  • Forward to PayPal is not available in workflows, but can be configured following this documentation.
  • Document Actions that happen in between steps are known as Activity Doc Actions. See the Email & Webhook documentation for details.

The wizards help guide you through the configuration process. Many of the wizards allow you to use form controls as templates to dynamically create what the users sees rather than hard coding this.

Display Message when User Submits Form

After the user submits the form/workflow, the browser will display a standard  page standard frevvo page with a text message. For example, the message might say, “Thank you for completing our form.” You supply the specific text in the Message field. This option works best for relatively brief messages. It can be tricky to enter or edit large amounts of text in the wizard's Message field, so for verbose messages consider creating a simple HTML page for your message and choosing the Forward User to your Web Page wizard.

The message can be customized, using the wizard's control dropdown, with values the user enters into the form. For example, if your form contains a fields named firstName and lastName, you can set your message to "Thank you {firstName} {lastName}". Now when a user submits the form the controls templates {firstName} and {lastName} will automatically be replaced with field values "Thank you, Joe Smith". See using templates Using Templates in formForm/docDoc/error actions Error Actions for full details.

Another useful message is to display a link back to the form. For example the display message:

Note

Javascript is not allowed in the display message. Plain text, html and control templates are allowed. Anything else will break the message and nothing will be displayedtext, html and control templates are allowed. Anything else will break the message and nothing will be displayed.

Some designers want to show a logo or other image in the Form Action Message. You can do this using HTML. If your logo is stored on a static site, you can point the HTML img tags to that image. However, if you prefer you can store the image right within the frevvo form.

  1. Add an image control to your form. You can uncheck the Visible and Printable properties if you do not want to display them to users in the actual form.
  2. Upload your logo or another image.
  3. Right-click the image control and select "Copy image address".

Tip

This method to use an image from your form in the form action message will also work for Workflow Step Pending Messages.


Show In

Both the display message wizard and the forward to web page wizard allow you to select where the message is displayed on the page using the "Show In" dropdown. There are three choices: Frame, Parent and Top. This tells the browser where to show the text (if you chose Display Message) or the new Web page (if you chose the Forward to Web Page).

...

Workflows do not have a corresponding "Forward to PayPal to complete Payment" action. However, you can configure either the Workflow Action: Forward users to a webpage of your choice or a link control in an individual step to connect to PayPal from a workflow. 

...

  • Paypal business name: Paypal business name. Typically, this is the email address you use to sign in to Paypal.

  • Payment amount: The payment amount.

  • Payment Description: The payment description is what your users will see when paying.

  • Currency Code: The currency code used in payment. Example: USD, CAD, INR

  • Return URL: A user will be redirected to this page after payment is complete. If you leave this blank, users will be redirected to a standard platform URL. 

  • Cancel URL: A user will be redirected to this page if payment is cancelled. If you leave this blank, users will be redirected to a standard platform URL.

  • Custom Value: PayPal will return this custom value in the IPN as well as the acknowledgement email.

  • Invoice Value: PayPal will return this invoice value (such as an Invoice Number) in the IPN as well as the acknowledgement email.

  • Notification URL: A notification URL. If you enter a URL here, PayPal will notify you using Instant Payment Notification. Please see the PayPal documentation for details.

Workflow Action: Forward Users to a Webpage of Your Choice

Open the workflow properties, and select the Workflow Actions tab. Click the Forward Users to a webpage of your choice radio button. Add the URL (configured like this example) to the URL field. After the last step is submitted, the user will be redirected to PayPal for payment processing.

Example: https://www.sandbox.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr?cmd=_xclick&business=mycompany@gmail.com&amount=2&item_name={BMyDesc}&currency_code=USD&return=http://localhost:8080/frevvo/web/tn/t1/u/53f402db-5ef2-4052-95a0-a44a2d000832/app/_JuJjkWogEeq1EfoSPaFbFA/formtype/_6Vmn0G02EeqEf75e1_YeJg?_method=post&embed=true&cancel_return=http://localhost:8080/frevvo/web/tn/t1/u/53f402db-5ef2-4052-95a0-a44a2d000832/app/_JuJjkWogEeq1EfoSPaFbFA/formtype/_6Vmn0G02EeqEf75e1_YeJg?_method=post&embed=true&custom=123&invoice=123&notify_url=

Note

This example uses the raw share link for the workflow in the &return= and &cancel_return= URLs. These will redirect the user to a new instance of the workflow. 

...

If you need PayPal integration in specific step of a workflow, add a link control in that step with above URL and set return URL pointing back to current step of the workflow using built-in data. They can then submit the step and the workflow will continue as designed.

Example: https://www.sandbox.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr?cmd=_xclick&business=mycompany@gmail.com&amount=2&item_name={BMyDesc}&currency_code=USD&return=http://localhost:8080/frevvo/web/tn/{form.tenant.id}/u/{form.user.uuid}/app/{form.application.id}/flow/{flow.id}/current?typeId={flow.type.id}&cancel_return=http://localhost:8080/frevvo/web/tn/{form.tenant.id}/u/{form.user.uuid}/app/{form.application.id}/flow/{flow.id}/current?typeId={flow.type.id}&custom=123&invoice=123&notify_url

Error

These wizards optionally allow you to customize what the user sees if an error occurs. You can either display a message or forward users to a web page of your choice. The wizards behave exactly like the corresponding Form Action wizards above. The Display message can be customized to display the actual error that occurred by adding the special {_frevvo_root_cause_msg} template to your message text. This is helpful for debugging, especially if your you are using  Onlineusing frevvo Online.
