13.1.0 (March 19th 2024)

With the introduction of webhooks in Umbraco 13, we've made an update to Forms to allow workflow execution events to trigger webhooks. Workflows are operations that you can associate with form submission, approval, or rejection actions. You can use these where you need to notify external systems of the success or failure of a workflow. Read more on Umbraco Forms Webhooks.
