Again, it *is* dependent on process chaining, at least per my tests.<div style="clear:both;"></div>RE: Do we have an option to invoke a process model from SAIL Code?<p style='display:https://community.appian.com/thread/19441?ContentTypeID=1Thu, 25 Jun 2015 18:09:38 GMTd3a83456-d57b-489c-a84c-4e8267bb592a:ac81e574-9f4f-4446-bb9a-4b806c6ffb27Stewart BurchellNote: the model will be invoked asynchronously and will not pass you back any results. If you&#39;re needing to get output you can, for example. get it to create asynchronous content e.g. a Task or an email.<div style="clear:both;"></div>RE: Do we have an option to invoke a process model from SAIL Code?<p style='display:https://community.appian.com/thread/19440?ContentTypeID=1Thu, 25 Jun 2015 17:53:13 GMTd3a83456-d57b-489c-a84c-4e8267bb592a:5e85dc71-76f6-4997-aafb-3285af603d48Navajith KThank you Alok and Siddharth, I will give it a try.<div style="clear:both;"></div>RE: Do we have an option to invoke a process model from SAIL Code?<p style='display:https://community.appian.com/thread/19439?ContentTypeID=1Thu, 25 Jun 2015 17:49:18 GMTd3a83456-d57b-489c-a84c-4e8267bb592a:a764e054-fce9-4b02-b4c6-34a9f76f723esiddharthmYes.. We can invoke a process model from the SAIL using the function &#39;startprocesswrite&#39; with the &#39;bind&#39; function <br /><br />Eg: local!invokeProcess:bind(<br /> {<br /> valueToBePassedToProcess:null<br /> },<br /> startprocesswrite(<br /> processModelId: ## /* Process Model Id of the process that has to be invoked */,<br /> processParameters: _<br /> )<br /> )<br /> <br />You can use this local variable(local!invokeProcess) to invoke the process model from the SAIL. Say you want to pass a &#39;Name&#39; field from the SAIL to the process model on clicking a button, the sample code will be like below :<br /><br /> a!buttonWidget(<br /> label: &quot;Submit&quot;,<br /> style: &quot;PRIMARY&quot;,<br /> value: {<br /> valueToBePassedToProcess:ri!name<br /> },<br /> saveInto: {<br /> local!invokeProcess &lt;&lt; _,<br /> <br /> )<div style="clear:both;"></div>RE: Do we have an option to invoke a process model from SAIL Code?<p style='display:https://community.appian.com/thread/19436?ContentTypeID=1Thu, 25 Jun 2015 17:41:32 GMTd3a83456-d57b-489c-a84c-4e8267bb592a:9dde727b-3ecf-41a2-989c-ac598feabe13Alok MohareThe Start Process Writer Shared Component should help you with that.<br /><br /><a href="https://forum.appian.com/suite/tempo/records/type/components/item/i8BWsQdLlzKy55h8z8zJ0sPqpDWFrba_b1aOsna8Uc_NIimwaIDItVI6iAo65QvGA/view/summary">forum.appian.com/.../summary</a><div style="clear:both;"></div>
