Does this upgrade has any dependency on Espocrm version 5.7.3?

[yuri]

There are some features that will work only on 5.7. But it can be used on 5.6 too.

Can we have one or two simple examples for how to use SIGNAL ?

The documentation on https://github.com/espocrm/documenta...bpm-signals.md is very complete but lacks an example :

Eg: I want to push every update note (stream) to an http request for auditing. How would you monitor the creation of a note and push the note.data json to outside?

`{"fields":["orgtype"],"attributes":{"was":{"orgtype":"supplier"},"becam e":{"orgtype":"client"}}}`

Would you use a signal for that?

[yuri]

You just need a regular workflow for Note entity type, and use Send HTTP Request action https://github.com/espocrm/documenta...d-http-request

No need to use signals here.

[rinorway]

According https://github.com/espocrm/documenta...ula-in-actions
there is no formula evaluation before triggering the HTTP request so we cannot use custom vars / placeholders in the JSON payload, correct?
