Hi,
In Appian documentation, I've always read that 1/a!startProcess() works as asynchronously, while 2/a!startProcessLink() work as synchronously.
But when I go in the Process Editor, and drag&drop the "Start Process" Service (3/), I can see in the "Setup" Tab that we can choose between synchronously or asynchronously mode.
Could you tell me if 1/ or 2/ are using the smart service(3/) behind the scene ?
and does 1/ always work asynchronously and 2/ always work synchronously ?Regards

Hello,Previously, the startProcess smart service was only available in Async mode, but Appian has recently introduced Sync mode as well.startProcessLink used if there is a need to show forms/ user input tasks.I recommend reviewing the following link:Ways to Start a Process From a Process - docs.appian.com/.../Ways_to_Start_a_Process_From_a_Process.htmlTopics: Comparing Methods for Starting a Synchronous Process from Another Process or InterfaceBoth sync or async methods have their benefits and use cases.
Oh I see, in the meantime, Appian introduced this new sync mode...it was what I suspected.Thanks a lot.
