Web API to Process model integration

Additionally to the steps, you have to keep in mind that you can configure the response on the web Api as you want, it could be based on the start of the process or you can validate structure, information, etc. within the web api.

Responding to an old thread as I ran in to a problem related to this.

I have a Web API that accepts JSON request with few attributes. One of the attribute in the request is in JSON format and I ran in to issue while passing this value to process model. Below is the request format.

"payload" attribute is mapped to a text variable in process model but the variable value is in dictionary format and not able to retrive each values from this variable (like Attribute2_2_1) in the process model.

Is a there way I can retain the JSON format in process model variable ? I have already tried converting this to a JSON using a!toJson/a!fromJson but unable to convert the format. Thank you.


{
"Request":
{
"Attribute1":"value",
"payload":
{
"Attribute2_1":"value",
"Attribute2_2":
{
"Attribute2_2_1":"value",
"Attribute2_2_2":"value"
},
"Attribute3":"value"
}
}
}

Value in Payload variable on Process Model:

[payload:[Attribute2_1:value, Attribute2_2:[Attribute2_2_1:value, Attribute2_2_2:value], Attribute3:value]]

Hello,

Did you find a way to have the format correctly in variable?

Yes. Extracted the values from the request and assigned to Process parameter. This way you can get the actual request in JSON format in to the process model. Sample below.

Request :

{
"Request":
{
"Attribute1":"value",
"payload":
{
"Attribute2_1":"value",
"Attribute2_2":
{
"Attribute2_2_1":"value",
"Attribute2_2_2":"value"
},
"Attribute3":"value"
}
}
}

WebAPI:

a!startProcess(

         processModel:cons!PM_NAME,

        processParameters:

         {

                   Attribute1:a!fromJson(http!request.body).Request.Attribute1,

                   payload:a!toJson(a!fromJson(http!request.body).Request.payload)

          }

)
