We are excited to announce the launch of updated product names, logos, and headers within our user interfaces as part of the CivicPlus® Solution Rebranding initiative. These changes mark the first step toward creating a cohesive and seamless user experience across all solutions in our portfolio. As part of this transition, users may notice minor design updates. While the functionality you rely on remains unchanged, we are in the process of updating screenshots and other resources on our Help Centers to reflect the new branding. We appreciate your patience and understanding as we work to complete these updates.

Form Center | External Integration Web Pages

  • Updated:

An external integration web page is a custom endpoint created on your system, which receives requests from an external integration form, and returns either an XML, JSON, or HTML response. The external integration web page can be created using any programming language, or hosted on any web server. The only requirement is that it can receive an HTTP POST and return either an XML, JSON, or HTML document.

 

Previous Step: Service URLs & Data Exchange Formats

 

For the example used in this series of External Integration articles, we have created a WebAPI application and hosted it on the ASP.NET framework. This service will accept a POST request at your websitedomain.com/api/Water/Bill and expects a BillRequest object. You can see how to post to this endpoint using any of the three protocols in our example WebAPI's Information Request page.
