Hi,
Exporting content from Mayan into CSV or other flat formats is not supported yet.
It poses a not so simple problem because flat formats are not compatible with database structures and require conversion. Because of all the possible conversion combinations there is no single method and solving this need will require creating an entire app or even a sub-project dedicated to this purpose.
It is something on the roadmap and we have some performed some proof of concepts but there is no clear timeline for inclusion.
For forward integration with other apps the best choice is to use the workflow and the HTTP calling action. In your case your can also perform the validation as part of the workflow itself by adding an approval step.
Some Knowledge Base tutorials covering Workflows and their possible uses.
- What are workflows?
- Automated document signing pipeline
- Automated Handling of Documents Infected with Malware
- Using Workflow Forms to Fill Out Document Metadata
You can also use events as approvals by leverage the workflow trigger feature.
