-------------------------------------
Summary: External or third party applications currently can not
interact with Fineract
Key: FINERACT-868
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FINERACT-868
Project: Apache Fineract
Issue Type: New Feature
Components: System
Reporter: Kelvin Ikome
Fineract webhooks enable it to communicate or interact with external or third
party services/applications. However, there are use cases where Fineract is
being integrated or used along side third party services in which a certain
functionality might need to be triggered in Fineract by and external service
but Fineract currently only supports one way interaction (Fineract to external
service through webhooks) but not vice versa (from external service to
Fineract).
Example use case: Fineract is used alongside a third party service which deals
with money transactions. If user maybe wants to make a purchase or make money
transfer and has 0 balance in his/her account, an option might be provided by
the user's financial institution to transfer funds from the user's accounts in
Fineract (if sufficient) or apply for a loan. This functionality of the third
party application interacting with Fineract is usually done through webhooks
and Fineract currently does not support interaction with external webhooks.
