Start process model

While you can easily add a a!startProcess() to the saveInto parameter of any button, there might be a different way which is more Appian-style. When you describe the background of your ask, we might be able to help you in getting there.

I Have created a process model which gets the file from cloud using API but im not able to start the process model to test it,its  asking for start form interface how to start without interface

How would you want to trigger this model? Timer, API call, manual?

In the process modeller, you can start any model for debugging from the "File" menu.

Both Manual & API

OK. For manual, you will need some kind of UI. That can be a start form. Then create a Site object and add that model as a page.

API? Is that API call FROM another system TO Appian?

I Need to get a pdf from cloud need to start api

That does not really answer my question. Does that cloud system send the PDF to Appian, or does Appian fetch it from that cloud system?

But, regardless of this detail, did you now find a way to start your process manually?

appian fecth it from cloud

I Have connected drive using api i have need to start the process and get pdf from drive

If you are just looking for a ways to test, 1. Create a temp UI with a button. 2. Call a!startProcess() in SaveInto of the button. 3. Provide processModel, processParameters (if any). It will trigger the process instance which you can monitor from Monitor tab.
