multiple actions in workflow

I am a newbie to SF. I have a workflow rules setup for email alert, I need to also make external api call to Gravity Forms to update some fields.
Is it possible to make the api call using a 'New Outbound message' as second action in the same workflow rule and achieve this? So basically without involving any Apex class can I do this?
Is there any other better solution?
Thanks in advance.

This isn't possible, but you can make an Apex trigger. This documentation explains how;

Thanks Andrew. .
So if I write this trigger for opportunity object can I invoke that trigger from WF rule or process builder? Or to invoke this trigger I need some kind of field update action?

Right, you can set the trigger to invoke under the same action that triggers a WF rule--typically a field update. When the field changes, the trigger runs.
