Hello Devs,
I have created a webAPI of template type : "StartProcess". Now this webAPI is starting the process when triggered but I want to open a form as a result of it. How can I achieve that?
Do I have to handle it inside body ? inside httpResponse of onSuccess? how to achieve that. Here is my current code for the webAPI:
a!startProcess( processModel: cons!PFM_APPIANFORMTOLAUNCHROUTER_PM, processParameters: { formToLaunchLabel_txt: http!request.queryParameters.formToLaunchLabel_txt, formToLaunchParameters_txt: http!request.queryParameters.formToLaunchParameters_txt, processInstanceAppianId_int: http!request.queryParameters.processInstanceAppianId_int, }, onSuccess: a!httpResponse( statusCode: 200, headers: { a!httpHeader( name: "Content-Type", value: "application/json" ) }, body: a!toJson( { taskID:getactivetaskidsforprocess( fv!processInfo.pp.id ) } ) ), onError: a!httpResponse( statusCode: 500, headers: { a!httpHeader( name: "Content-Type", value: "application/json" ) }, body: a!toJson( { error: "There was an error starting the process" } ) ) )

In the context of an API, what would "Open a form" mean?
But you could use the function urlfortask() to return a link a user could click on.
docs.appian.com/.../fnc_scripting_a_urlfortask.html
this approach is working fine but its opening the interface in tempo, i dont want it to be opened in tempo I want the WebAPI to generate url that should open the interface in new tab and further process the logic that is implemented in the process model.
I have a hard time imagining what you try to achieve. Can you describe the wider use case?
after starting a process model a url is getting generated in body that we can use to open the user input form in browser, that thing is working fine but its opening in tempo, i don't want that. I want to open it in new tab as a standard interface page.
is it possible or not?
The documentation here
says
To create a URL to a site, use returnTaskPathOnly=true and append the path only to the end of the site URL in the following format: <base_url>/suite/sites/<site_name>/task/<task_path>.
Thanks it worked for me.
