chuckdubdub Trigger HTTP request from a Workflow rule?
I have a client who has web-based forms in a CMS that cannot readily be integrated with the SF API, so as a result we're trying various workarounds to being able to pass a lead record SFID to a 3rd party web page (via query string). It could be possible if say, when a new lead is inserted or updated, if we could simply pass the SFID to the 3rd party web page via an HTTP request triggered from something like a workflow rule.
Any provision to do this with Workflow rules? Not seeing it there.
The obvious solution is to simply build our lead forms on a server where we can use the SF api and do our 3rd party http requests via PHP, pretty straightforward of course. At this point, though just investigating workarounds that might be possible via the Enterprise edition of SF.
Thanks much for any suggestions!

Check out the docs on Workflow Outbound Messages. They are in fact an outbound HTTP request fired by workflow, although they expect the receiver to obey a very specific request/response format.
