'External' ways to advance a process

[J.M.]

Hi,

I have been tryinig some ways to interact with a process, without manual interaction, and I've found timer starts, message triggers and even intermediary events. However the functionalitiy I was looking for, maybe was a combination of these ideas. Let's suppose the follwing scenario:
One user launch a process, and another one need to accept or reject some form, in order to advance the proces, but he cannot do it normally Are there any 'external' ways to ADVANCE (not start) a process, and continue with the following activity? Maybe sending an email, a sms, an AJAX request or whatever?


Thanks and regards.

Hi,

I have same question. I would like to advance a process with an external application. i.e., I know that is possible to send an email and start a process, but I would like to complete a manual task without using RPM. For example, I have developed an application for saving dates (a diary) and my process has a task for reject or accept a date and I want to complete this activity inside of RMP or from my other application.

How can I do it?

Regards,

Jessica

Hi,

You can use the JQuery to update a manual task.

Please find reference link, here multiple request are being updated, you can customize it to update a single task

1. http://docs.runmyprocess.com/Developer_Guide/FAQ/Tricks/Todo_Validation

the other way, you can create a CAPI with the connector "Validate a manual task" and update the task.

connector name:-  Validate a manual task

provider name:- RunMyProcess - Secured Connection

Hi,

Thanks for the info, but I still have a couple of questions:
1.- Is there any way to do the update less... crafty? something like sending an email or similar? In case not, Has RMP plans to include this as a future feature of the platform?

2.- The jQuery update you propose... should it work even if the request comes from another web application which is totally independent of RMP?

Regards,

Hi again,

I've tried to do the request for updating a process from a localhost domain, and effectively, it doesn't work. The reason is I get a 401 error (unauthorized user).
What I mean with my first question was refferred to the possibility of updating a process from somewhere OUTSIDE RMP. If the only way to do that is by using the jQuery, then I can't do it from an external site, right?

Please, tell me if there is another way to do that, or in case not, if it will exist in a neraby future.

Regards.

Hi,

Please find the response below:-

1.- Is there any way to do the update less... crafty? something like sending an email or similar? In case not, Has RMP plans to include this as a future feature of the platform?

Response:- Currently this functionality is not available. We will forward your suggestion to the Product Team.

2.- The jQuery update you propose... should it work even if the request comes from another web application which is totally independent of RMP?

Response:- With JQuery we can update the process but the user should be authenticated already. Will check if a login connector is available or not, update you on the same.

Hi, 

I've searched a conector to login in RMP and I have not found it, so in this situation I assume, that the update of an activity cannot be done from a RMP-independent application.
However, whenever this conector exists, the way to make the update would be firstly, one AJAX request for login, and secondly one AJAX request for the update, right? In that case, how the ajax request for login should be?

Jessica

Hi Jessica,

We have contacted the product team to check about the login connector and the authentication request format, will update you soon on the same.

Hi,

RMP API's can be authenticated using Basic login.

In your API call, add Authorization header, Baisc + base64 encoded string of login:password.

There is no 1st or 2nd API to authenticate.

Also, systematically you can update a process (=advance) from Connector (in library, Validate a manual task).

So a main process can be updated by another process, and this "another process" (who has the connector mentioned above) can be started by timer or email or API call.

Could be useful for some cases.

Best regards,
