How can I initiate the SFTP in Appian Designer? Are there any built-in Plugins available like HTTP or Appian RPA to initiate the SFTP? How can I connect AWS with the Process Model in Appian and make the data interactive between them?

Hello community.I am currently working on the "Develop with AI: Get Started with Appian Composer" sub-course within the "Appian AI" course at the Appian Academy. As part of the hands-on exercise, I am instructed to create a request plan from the "Plan" tab and generate the application using Composer. Composer successfully creates all the objects, but when I access the "Build" section, I do not see the "Board" tab. I am using version 26.6 and am the application administrator. Does anyone know how to handle this? I need the "Board" tab to proceed with the exercise, as it opens the chat with Copilot AI, allowing me to interact with it.

For Appian AI Skill for Document Classification how to check, how many AI Actions it consumed. I can able to check for the GenAI skills on object itself or in output tab of the process node only but not for the classification type AI skills. Cause we have 200K Ai actions per month to spend for Appian Standard Tier. Just need to check how we can find out the expenditure of AI actions for the Classification AI Skills.

Can we add emojis in paragraph field?

Hi Appian Community,I am currently automating an Appian application using FitNesse v25.2 and have encountered an issue with tab navigation.The tabs on the page were developed using the a!tabItem() component. While executing the automation, I am unable to click or switch between tabs through FitNesse. Other UI elements on the page are being identified and interacted with successfully, but the tab controls are not responding to click actions.Environment:Appian Version: 26.6 FitNesse Version: 25.2 Component Used: a!tabItem()Issue Details:Tabs are visible in the UI. FitNesse is unable to perform click actions on the tabs. Standard element identification methods do not seem to work. No explicit error is displayed, but the tab selection does not change. Tried with ClickOnText, ClickOnAction etc, but nothing seems working.Questions:Has anyone faced a similar issue automating Appian tabs built with a!tabItem()? Is there a recommended locator strategy for these components in FitNesse? Are there

Does anyone know how to read the first line of a CSV? I have tried the readcsvlogpaging() function but it only works for files that are in the logs directory, and the readexcelsheetpaging() function does not work for CSV documents. Any ideas? Thanks!

I am having request to create new custom schema and export the data from default Appian schema   I too see some above recommendations in the earlier discussion, based on my analysis i found below solutions like  1) we can rename existing Appian table to new schema.table name which would move all the existing Appian table to new schema with out breaking its existing links RENAME TABLE  appian.my_table TO target_schema.my_table; 2) we can then use Appian default capabilities to change the source table in the corresponding records  via GUIIs this solution Okie to use , will it have any negative impact to look out ?, or do u have any other easy recommended way of doing this in appian ?

Hi Everyone, Just checking if anyone has come across this issue, when I try to drag and drop emails directly from the new outlook into document upload function it doesnt do anything. Same feature works fine when I drag and drop emails out of classic outlook.

Hi everyone, I am looking for some guidance on an Appian requirement and would appreciate hearing from anyone who has implemented something similar.We have ‘Extra Long Text(64000)/Long Text fields(4000)’ where users enter content through the Styled Text Editor component. The entered content is stored in the database with the corresponding HTML tags. We now have a requirement to export this data in a Word document while preserving the formatting exactly as entered by the user. This includes:Bold, italic, underline,.. Tables Paragraphs and other rich text formatting supported by the Styled Text Editor componentThe Word document should ideally retain the original formatting rather than displaying the underlying HTML tags.Current Approach:Currently, we are using [Advanced Document Templating - DOCX Document From Template] smart service plugin to generate the Word document by providing a template along with the data in XML format. However, we must strip the HTML tags from the styled text da

We are trying to build CICD using Github and Github actions. Could we get help around setting up Github for Appian.

Is there a way to get the information in UI apart from designer for object comparison results modified in last 1 week by particular resource?Senior leadership wants to see report on Appian resource productivity and how many object being changed and what changes they are doing in some UI report instead of going into dashboard. They need to showcase the tracking possibility without going into designer.

I am exploring different ways to make digital workflows more efficient, especially when a process involves both Appian and external online tools.Sometimes a workflow may involve collecting information, processing files or media, and then saving the results for later use. I have also been researching simple online tools such as SanpTikk.io for saving TikTok videos when offline access is needed.My question is about how others approach these external tools within Appian workflows.Do you usually connect external services through APIs, handle them outside Appian, or use another approach when there is no direct integration available?I would be interested in hearing how experienced Appian developers handle this kind of workflow while keeping the process simple and reliable.

How to integrate Appian to GIT

Hello everyone!I started the Learning Path recently and I'm having trouble in Step #1 (version: 26 Build an Application: Step-by-Step #1).When I try to create a New Group (W0239ER Support Supervisors), it always says "Name already exists". This note appears on all objects in the W0239ER application.” → “Not in this Application”   Did anyone have the same issue? How can I fix it?Thanks :)

Hi everyone,I've been exploring workflow automation and was curious how others approach repetitive business processes.I work in medical billing, where a typical workflow can involve insurance claims, follow-ups, documentation, spreadsheets, emails, and status updates. A lot of these tasks are repetitive, so I've been thinking about where automation could actually save the most time without making the process unnecessarily complicated.For those using Activepieces, what would you automate first in a workflow like this?For example, would you use it for: Sending notifications when a claim status changes Moving information between spreadsheets and other systems Creating follow-up tasks automatically Connecting forms or webhooks with internal tools Generating reports or summaries I'd also be interested in hearing which Activepieces integrations or features you have found most useful for business workflows.What automation has saved you the most manual work?Thanks for sharing your expe
