Bubble is a platform for building applications with workflows. The Workflow API lets you trigger server workflows externally or schedule them from within the application.

Overview
This means you can build a system where a form, an external application, or a schedule triggers the same logic. A server workflow should check who called it and what data was received, even when the regular interface already performs checks. Consider designing an action identifier to handle repeated calls from the same source.
