Hi Retool Community. I am relatively new to Retool and I have been trying to POST data from the Retool app to an external website, where the data from the Retool app would be loaded. Is it possible to do in retool? And what would I use for that?
Thank you in advance.
Hi @Serhii_Bobkov - welcome to the forums. Have you tried to create a REST API resource (Query REST APIs | Retool Docs) to POST data to the external service?
Hello @jg80 , thank you for suggesting that option. Do I understand correctly that in order to do that I 1) need to set up a webhook-triggered workflow and then 2) make a custom RESTful API on my external website in order to handle data sent by retool? Thank you
You can have a workflow that is triggered via webhook or a user action in a Retool App, or you can setup the REST query directly in an app and trigger it from the App. All of those options would require that your external service/website have a way to receive that data.
