Is it possible to launch a process with start form from one appian instance in another.

Question

We want to be able to launch the X appian instance from the Y so that the details can be passed by the system.

Generally this is just what subprocesses are for. When you call a process as a subprocess from another process, you just pass in the parameters, any start form is ignored.

Is the question that you want to launch a start form on another Appian instance? 
 The only way to do this would be an API request that would return you a URL to a Task Form. It would be 2 steps though (1 for the button and then you would have to click on the URL).

Thanks for clarifying - so for separate environments you'll need to refer to Mathieu's answer below - using API connections between environments is pretty easy. I even set up an API connector to send stuff (just for testing reasons) between my corp dev environment and my Community Edition site.

Don't embed the url, they actually need to click on the link and redirect to the other application.
