Overview
End-users will have the ability to edit office documents from an Appian interface and store a new version of the document in Appian after saving the document.
Key Features & Functionality
You can use the Web Application Open Platform Interface (WOPI) protocol to integrate Office for the web with your application. The WOPI protocol enables Office for the web to access and change files that are stored in your Appian instance.
To integrate your Appian application with Office for the web, you need to have the following:
The sample application included in the download package showcases how this plug-in can be used. The function getembeddedofficeurl() can be used to generate a url which can be used in the Web Content Field.
The sample application also includes the following API's which are needed to embed office into an Appian application:
yes. When I call https://appian-int-td01.tst:8443/suite/webapi/wopi/files/5224&access_token=.... I well receive the response. But I do not understand the role od access_token
Did you added the API service account access to the folder where the documents are stored?
Hello,
I'm interested by your plugin. We have an Office online installed on prim. Actually the sample cannot work. Word Online start but the document cannot be opened. Have you an idea of what is wrong ?
URL is something like this:
https://office.xxxx.xx/wv/wordviewerframe.aspx?title=OOI_WOPICLIENT&WOPISrc=https://appian-int-td01.tst:8443/suite/webapi/wopi/files/5224&access_token=....

Thanks Mark for your reply,
I did not receive any notification of this and therefore did not notice it earlyer.I will defenatly investigate this further and if it works I will post back here for future users.
Hi Aby, I just submitted a new version where all the missing dependencies are gone. This will become available soon.
Hi Aby,
I thought I checked all dependencies. Will check this again. But you should be able to import the app and ignore the problems. Only the site won’t be imported, but you can still use the interfaces and API’s
Hi Edilberto,
The plugin and the example app will act as an WOPI host and could connect to any WOPI client if this client allows the connection.
