Need to writeToDB before Webservice call

Just an easy thinking but can you create a Web API with a!writeToDataStoreEntity and call it in your Expression?

Hi ,
Assuming the dataset is large I would rather suggest to write a stored proc to to achieve the same.

Thanks.

I hope WEB API works here, creating a WEB API writes data in to a Data Store. For more information use the documentation link: docs.appian.com/.../Web_API_Tutorial_-_Level_II.html

Hi,

Let me repeat my understanding from your question.
You have a requirement to write some login details before anyone opens a record.
With this understanding I am suggesting my answer.

Most popular way nowadays is to map records page in SITE and we allow end user to directly land on SITE home page.
But to accommodate your requirement I think you need to map a process model.

Steps
1. Map a process model in site home page.
2. In process model start page provide a link to navigate to record.
3. Clicking this link will trigger a sub process
4. First node in sub process will have a call to Write to data store entity smart service and write your login data to DB
5. Next node would be an interface having a link to Record. (Use hard coded http link to navigate to records)

Doing this we are increasing number of clicks for end users but we can give it a try. We are using 2 links in this whole scenario where we can provide some information to user.

Let me know your thoughts on this.

Thanks!
