Parameters to Embedded SAIL

Hi all,

Is there a way to pass certain parameters to an embedded SAIL form via JQuery (or JS in general)? Or any other way?

We're building a website which includes some embedded SAIL forms and we would like to pass, according to user's actions on the website, a value to the embedded Interface and see and work with that value within Appian.

Thanks,
Riccardo

@jims419 If you use WEB API to send the data from external system then as per @riccardob requirement a Task won't be appeared to show SAIL From. As per my understanding there is no direct approach, but still there is a indirect approach, You can create a Process Model which will contain SAIL Forms as well as other Nodes as usual, and then you can expose your Process Model as a SOAP Service, as we know SOAP Exchange medium is XML, which is a common for any programming languages, so then consider invoking your SOAP Service along with required parameters (Provided in Process Model which was exposed as SOAP Service) from External Application, so a new Instance of your Process Model will be instantiated, but in this approach at each Service invoke a new Instance of your Process Model will be created. So we do not have any direct approach to send Data as Parameters to existing SAIL form.
So if creation of Task is not a concern then you can go for Exposing Your Process Model as service

I hope this will help you
