Hi, is there any way we could start the process model with start form and pass some input parameters from external URL. We have a request where we will have to search some customers in external system, and pass the related customerId to appian process model which should open a start form. So the similar behavior as appian actions, but being called by using URL in external system and being able to pass some parameters to a start form which should be displayed on a link click. For example, we have to search for a customer in external system. When we find a customer we need, we have to start an appian process for that particular customer only by clicking the http link in external system. Another requirement is to avoid starting the process instance if start form for particular customer is not submitted. So, for example, we find a customer with custId=1 in external system, we would like to generate some URL like http://appian.host/start_process/processModelId=2&custId=1&

Hi All, We have a requirement to start appian process automatically when a outlook mailbox recieves emails with body and attachemnt. Then we have to consume the body and attachment in Appian process to process it further. We tried to look into : https://docs.appian.com/suite/help/23.1/Sending_an_Email_Message_to_a_Process.html#starting-a-process-using-an-email But it seems it requires extensive configuration at server level to enable polling icluding setup of routing server like Apache James. Wanted to enquire if there is any solution available which doesn't require server level configuration. Regards, Soumyasish Dutta

Hi all, I'm exploring OpenID Connect to use as a SSO. I'm following these links for set up https://docs.appian.com/suite/help/23.1/OpenID_Connect_User_Authentication.html and https://tony-marziano.medium.com/walkthrough-google-openid-connection-with-appian-23-1-a397b67611e4 In the field for Authentication Group, I obviously need to specify an existing group object. My question, do I first need to create a new application, ie: OIDC, and in that application create the group? Or is there some other location for that group to reside? Many thanks,Uel.

Hi all! We need to send an email with a link that allows users to directly access the download of the documents (after authenticating in the application). instead of sending them as attachments. We have found the following discussion Appian Community and we have developed like this. We have included in our HTML template:       <a href="https://your environment/suite/doc/###docid###?appian_environment=designer">Download Document</a> and it worked. The problem is when we have moved to another environment. We have just updated the name of the environment:       <a href="https://new environment/suite/doc/###docid###?appian_environment=designer">Download Document</a> And now its not working, we got the following error:  Application Error We're sorry! We could not process your last request. There are no details available for this problem. If you continue having problems, please cont

I need to allow the user to enter a comment in an interface.  This comment might be 200-500 characters long and might contain line breaks (CR or CRLF). The a!textField allows for the character limitation, but not for multi-line display, wrapping long lines, including line breaks.   Is there a control that provides multi-line text input?  (Like this 'description' field I'm using to enter this community post.) Thank you.

Hi guys, we have the requirement to start an Appian process via API from an external system and redirect the user to the url of the first task of that process. I tried to achieve this in the following way. We created a process model and activity-chained the first user input task with the start node. Then we created a POST api and start the process with a!startProcess and we valued the onSuccess parameter of that rule like this: a!httpResponse( statusCode: 200, headers: { a!httpHeader(name: "Content-Type", value: "application/json") }, body: a!toJson({ taskUrl: a!urlfortask( index(rule!LM_getTaskDetailsByPid( pid: index(index(fv!processInfo, "pp", null), "id", null) ), "taskId", null) ) }) ) where rule!LM_getTaskDetailsByPid is a rule that, given a process id, retrieves the id of the active task of the process in the taskId component using a task report and query analytics. Unfortunately we noticed that sometimes this fail

Hi,  I have a read only grid, which has various filters. For one of my filter, I have the different stages (New, In progress, Done). When the grid is viewed from the front end, I want to initially filter out the stage ( Done) and show the remaining stages. In that case, when a user want to see the "Done" records, they can cancel out the filter. Can someone help here. 

I have 120 rows in array but i want to loop only first 100 rows using foreach function. Please advise.

I just want to understand why list of records(0 items) is not returning null/true in below scenarios. I have problem returning the List of Empty Records to be empty/null. Any thoughts?? We always practiced using null vs 0 vs "" vs {} depending on the type of data. However here {} for set of array records is not working to identify as null. Of course same behavior with CDT's as well.

Hi, I am new to Appian and I am trying using a rule object as grid data source. but getting below error  Could not display interface. Please check definition and inputs. Interface Definition: Expression evaluation error at function a!gridField [line 2]: A grid component [label="Read-only Grid"] has an invalid value for "columns". A grid column [label="Vehicleid"] has encountered an error.

while click on submit button, calling the integration call. If any error is occured then we should display the error message on the top of page. I have displayed the message on top of the page.

Hi everyone, I have a problem with a process model that receives incoming emails that contain certified emails as attachments, with an internal nesting degree usually greater than 3 (therefore at least 3 emails attached inside the attachment of the email sent to the process). With these types of attachments, the email sent to the process never reaches the received message node which I used to activate the process. If I then send an uncertified email, the node receives the email and the process is activated normally.  I attach a screenshot of the input node configuration, with the public event flagged. Has anyone had the same problem?
