Hello,
I would like to know how may I trigger a submit action to a form, without a manual User action please ?
(it could be in using a timer... for example, submitting the form after 10 seconds)
I saw some related posts around Javascript, but is it possible to do this with Appian ?
Regards

Generally speaking this is not possible with OOB appian functionality. What is your use case?
You can set a exception flow for this and try to move forward in the process
Thank you Mike, I am testing a scenario... where a process contains a lot of nodes (let's say 50 nodes for a full saving process).I would like to break the process in 2 sub process, with a form displaying a message ("saving in progress...").
But I would like this to be completely automatic.
Thank you Naven, with this exception, all the rest of the process would continue ...but my saving actions would be aborted ?Could you tell me where I can find some exceptions example please ?(I've looked at exception documentation, but did not find a complete tutorial explaining me how to parameter the process)
You can basically do that - but it will require user interaction to submit the form as always. I usually just make a button with a "refresh" icon, and if they click it when the background process is completed, it proceeds to the next chained task.
Ok Mike, I thought it would be possible within Appian (as it is possible to do it with Javascript).So, the only way would be to deal with exception.
As Naven has suggested, I may try to deal with an Exception ?I would like test to throw an exception after a 10 seconds delays. Could you explain me how to set this delay please ?
Hello Cedric,
You can set exception on node properties. Here is some documentation on how to configure an exception:
https://docs.appian.com/suite/help/20.3/Process_Node_and_Smart_Service_Properties.html#exceptions-tab
Thank you Naveen but in the delay options, I did not see "seconds" in the list... how may I set 10 seconds ? I have to do it within an expression ?
Yes, we do not have an option to configure the delay in seconds. However you can use an expression to set the delay.
Thanks a lot
