How can I send checkout form details to another server?

[steadygo]

Hi, not sure if this is possible but would welcome any feedback or suggestions.

I am looking to use a workflow management tool (HighOrbit) to be able to help manage a number of tasks that I need to complete as part of satisfying my customer’s order (e.g. contacting various suppliers etc).

The software has the capability to receive a form populated with the main customer details like customer name etc for each order. Tasks are then created by the system for each order according to a template that I have created.

My problem is how do I send the basic order details from Actinic automatically. The normal way that HighOrbit say this is achieved is that I need to create a form on my website which contains all of the appropriate order fields – when the customer clicks the form action button it sends the form details across to the server hosting the workflow tool.

All of the details that I need are already in the first page of the Actinic checkout process. So, I am wondering, is it possible for actinic to automatically populate and send a form containing all of the order details to a particular url?

Fingers crossed that this is possible!

Thanks for your help

Cheers, Ed.

I have this tool:
http://www.interact-studio.co.uk/aca...Connector.html

That sends the order detail, from the local database, to an online one. You'd have to download the orders first however, they are encrypted at the server.

You'd also hve to write something in php or asp that uses this data to create the desired effect (unless your workflow app can connect to sql sources of course, then you can miss this step)

I also write this:
http://www.interact-studio.co.uk/aca...ide_Order.html

As an add on for this:
http://www.interact-studio.co.uk/aca...r_Flavour.html

That hosts a VERY simple 'priority centric' task management group-ware, with access to your Actinic orders.

That sounds really interesting - do you have a number I can contact you on to discuss please?
