    Application integration and near-real-time data flow management to keep different systems up to date are trending among local government organizations looking for innovative ways to streamline their operations.

    To complete such projects, a solution based on the low code FME platform can be developed leveraging webhooks technology in applications and the Automation functionality in FME Server.

    In this workshop we will teach you how to build a simple webhook-based automation from an ArcGIS Survey123 to automatically move survey results data into another downstream system.


    At the end of this workshop, you'll be able to:

     - Create a Survey123 with a webhook

     - Configure an FME Server Automation to receive information from Survey123

     - Process the Survey123 data (in JSON format)

     - Write to the downstream application


    Objective: Learn how to build simple webhook-based automation and get some FME hands-on experience! 

    Requires: General knowledge of GIS


    You are required to bring your own laptop for this event. Admin rights are required for the installation - get with your IT department and share the details of the the workflows listed for additional permissions if necessary. 

    Consortech will provide a temporary version of the software download prior to the workshop.

    ESRI training licenses will be provided for the duration of the workshop.
