I recently received a requirement to enable the acceptance or rejection of tasks directly through email by clicking a button, rather than navigating into Appian. To achieve this, I created a Web API to trigger the process model and configured it with a service account for external access. Additionally, I utilized Actionable Messages with Adaptive Cards for Outlook and designed an HTML template using the below Adaptive JSON code { "type": "AdaptiveCard", "hideOriginalBody":true, "body": [ { "type": "Container", "id": "353b659f-b668-fac0-5b7f-5d2f1bdb46ac", "padding": "Default", "items": [ { "type": "ActionSet", "actions": [ { "type": "Action.Http", "id": "accept", "title": "Accept", "method": "POST", "url":

A process model is configured to archive after 7 days. Its instances are completed but they wont be archived till 7 days. Now the process model is configured to archive after 0 days. Now it will be archived the moment the process instance is completed. Will this change affect only the latest instances or it will affect the old completed instances as well??Thanks

I have a few business requirements for our mobile development and I can't find any information that can help. The only mobile functions that I can find are: isNativeMobile() isNativePhone() isNativeTablet() So are there any mobile functions OOTB or from a plug-in that helps me: - Know if a specific app has been downloaded on the users phone - Open a specific app on a specifics phone - What OS the device is using so I can send them to an appropriate app store (Apple App Store, Google Play Store, Galaxy App Store if neither are an option, etc.)

Hi I have an interface where I'm displaying data related to a case and that data actually from another source where they provided it as a view. Now since they have emptied the view the expression rule that fetches the data from this view is throwing error as an error occurred while retrieving the data:unexpected error executing query...Can anyone help me in handling this null data. It would be great if anyone can provide an example query expression. Thanks in advance.

Hello, "Can you please help me? My array field, which is auto populated from another array field, takes the information but does not save it in the database. How can I adjust it to save?"

I have a task in a process model that needs some user input. I also included cancel button as a way to "go back" and do the task later. I have mapped this cancel to a XOR and if cancel is true, the line loops back into the task:This produces two issues. The first one is I get notified again if I cancel because task is reassigned to me. The second issue is that for some time the task is not assigned to anyone. I have a list of tasks taken from a task report, where I have links to the tasks. When I click on the link this form opens and when I click the cancel button I get back to the list of tasks but the said task is not present anymore in the list. When I refresh the page however it appears again as it is assigned again.Is there a better solution?

Suppose I have an array with multiple values for key dates:'type!{urn:com:appian:types}Request'( 'id': "009642", 'status': "Cancelled", 'dates': "05/05/2024, 10/06/2024", ), 'type!{urn:com:appian:types}Request'('id': "009641",'status': "Cancelled", 'dates': "06/15/2024, 02/06/2024, 02/10/2024" ) I want the result to be such that the dates are individually added and appended having the same data. so the first array will become 'type!{urn:com:appian:types}Request'('id': "009642",'status': "Cancelled", 'dates': "05/05/2024",), 'type!{urn:com:appian:types}Request'('id': "009642",'status': "Cancelled", 'dates': "10/06/2024",),   Like this I want to do for all items in that data. Is it possible in appian?

I am facing an issue where I am setting a variable in the process model at first to be false and at the end I am setting it to be true, this change was made flawlessly across all the process models only this one. whenever I try to return the value via the web API it keeps on returning false. just note that the script task that change the value is set after a sub process model. keep in mind all chains are enabled !

Hi, after upgrading to Appian 23.4 try to launch Data Fabric Analytics results in this error (screenshot) and the OK button doesn't work. I am in the Data Fabric Report Creators group. Everything else on the platform works. It's a develop environment, on premise.  Any suggestions? Thanks

I have a requirement where we need to track who removed a user from a group. Additionally, when a user updates the group and their name appears as the last modifier, it's challenging to identify the specific user who removed another user, especially when multiple users have recently updated the group. Can you provide suggestions on how we can address this? Thanks & Regards, Nisha Vincent.

I have a Sharepoint connector defined and authenticated with an integration that uses it. It is set to create a folder. I am trying to use it in an expression like so:a!localVariables( local!user: rule!HR_getUserFromUuid(ri!uuid), local!employeeFolder: upper(user(local!user, "firstName")) & " " & upper(user(local!user, "lastName")), rule!HR_SharepointCreateFolder( folderName: local!employeeFolder, rootPath: cons!HR_SHAREPOINT_EMPLOYEES_FOLDER ) )It however doesn't create the folder. If I go to the integration, enter the same values as test inputs and click test, it does work as expected.
