Is it possible to create a workflow that runs a curl command when a page gets published/un-published?

Is it possible to create a workflow that gets executed when a page gets published/unpublished to run a curl command like: curl <published_page_url>

[SureshDhulipudi · Accepted solution]

yes, it is possible,

you can write a service or you can include steps as follow

 String[] command = { "curl", "-X", "GET", "<<URI or something here>>" };

 ProcessBuilder process = new ProcessBuilder(command);

Process executeProcess;

executeProcess = process.start();

Sharing a blog with code snippets to execute Curl commands via Java program

https://techrevel.blog/2018/01/19/curl-execution-from-java-program/

		//Equivalent command conversion for Java execution
		String[] command = { "curl", "-u", username + ":" + password, "-X", "POST", "-F", "cmd=unlockPage", "-F",
				"path=" + path, "-F", "_charset_=utf-8", url };

		ProcessBuilder process = new ProcessBuilder(command);
		Process p;
		try {
			p = process.start();
			BufferedReader reader = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(p.getInputStream()));
			StringBuilder builder = new StringBuilder();
			String line = null;
			while ((line = reader.readLine()) != null) {
				builder.append(line);
				builder.append(System.getProperty("line.separator"));
			}
			String result = builder.toString();
			System.out.print(result);

		} catch (IOException e) {
			System.out.print("error");
			e.printStackTrace();
		}

This will also hold good, when executed at end of workflow.

Other alternative to Curl is HTTP requests. All AEM curl commands can be converted into HTTP GET and POST .
