Can a!startProcess be used in an expression rule which is called from a web api?

Craig over 8 years ago

We've been able to successfully start a process using a!startProcess within a Web API. We haven't successfully called a!startProcess as part of an expression rule called from a Web API. The documentation for a!startProcess does say it will only execute inside a saveinto or a Web API. We were hoping that included calling it as part of an expression from a Web API but that doesn't appear to be the case.

Can anyone confirm if you can call a!startProcess as part of an expression if the expression is called from a Web API?

Thanks!

@Carig, AFAIK we can use smart functions like a!startprocess in Web API or SaveInto of any sail component. Which means when ever user interacts with sail components the respective saveInto will be executed including smart functions if exist. As you said you are using expression rule so it doesn't need any user interactions thats why it didn't executes a!smart functions.
