Extensibility

Using Appian 24.1.  I have created a custom plugin.Let’s call the plug com.appiancorp.plugins.RaysClass.If I use log.error(“RAYS ERROR”), the entries are written to the tomcat log file.If I use log.debug(“RAYS DEBUG”) statements, those entries are NOT written.I have tried adding log4j.logger.com.appiancorp.plugins.RaysClass=DEBUG to the bottom of the appian_log4j.properties file.  Still no debug statements.If I add log4j.logger.com.appian=DEBUG, as soon as I save the file, I get a bunch of debug statements in the log.I still don’t see “RAYS DEBUG” in the log file.What must I do to write debug statements from a custom plugin to the tomcat log file?

My use case is I have a large PDF that is essentially a bunch of smaller PDFs stitched together. Each smaller PDF has a dynamic number of pages, and they’re split by a separator page, so a human can tell when an individual document starts. I know there’s a PDF Tools plug in, but it doesn’t seem like there’s functionality to split by a separator page or something similar - it’s all by a specified page range or by number of pages in a document. The best thing I can think of right now is to use AI or something to find out where the separator pages are, the page ranges of the individual documents are, and loop through the large document until the end, but that sounds like it might be complicated and I’m wondering if there’s a simpler solution? Thank you in advance!

Has anyone successfully connected Appian and Confluence?Our goal is to manage activities in Appian, such as approvals or sign-offs, and have the corresponding content in Confluence updated automatically. If you've implemented something like this, I'd appreciate any guidance or recommendations.

Hi All, I have to export 51 columns using export data store entity to excel. I have added 2 nodes and given 50 entities in first node and 1 entity in second node of selection. I gave starting cell also (first node A1 and second AX1)Same document I want to update in second node but when it runs it makes first 50 columns (which was added by first node ) blank. Can we use this smart service any how to export more coulmns than 50 or is there any other smart service available ?

Gridplus is to a very large degree doing exactly what we needed in one of our apps, great stuff.  However, business users are getting picky now as it seems like the plug-in might not be able to refresh paging counts at the bottom of the control if filtering down the data to 0 records returned.  Any record or records present returned by the query rule listed in the configuration will update the paging counts.  I didn’t see this in known bugs, but wondering if anyone has tricked a refresh by adding a ‘do nothing’ row in the case the filtering is down to 0 records, or if someone may have another idea. 

Hi all,I’m facing an issue in Appian that I’ve been investigating for the last few months. We have an application where we update user details using the Update User Profile smart service.There are around 1,000 users in the application, but for some users, the process model fails while updating their profile with the error: “The selected supervisor is invalid.”I checked those users and found that they don’t have any supervisor assigned in the admin console.During my investigation, I opened the failed process instance using Edit Process View and checked the error node. I noticed that the Supervisor field has a value at the instance level. However, when I opened the actual process model, there is no value configured for the Supervisor field—it is not hardcoded anywhere in the process model.I have checked the process model and related configurations, but I’m still unable to figure out where this Supervisor value is coming from.Has anyone faced a similar issue in Appian or have any idea wha

Hello Team, I have created a Web API that triggers a process model. To consume this API, I created an integration object in Appian using the Web API URL. When I test the integration, it returns a 200 (OK) status code, but the process model is not getting triggered. After checking the response, I found that the integration is being redirected to the login page, and because the login page loads successfully, the response status is returned as 200. Could you please suggest the correct approach for implementing the integration on top of the Web API? Do I need to configure authentication differently or use another integration method to avoid the login page redirection?

Hi I have a requirement where I need to invoke an asynchronous API that returns a jobId in the response. After a certain wait time, I need to call a second API to check the status of the job by passing the jobId received from the first API. This status API should continue to be invoked at regular intervals until the job completes successfully. All of these steps must be completed before the form is submitted, as activity chaining needs to be maintained. Our current plan is to use a Start Process smart service to initiate the asynchronous operation and capture the process ID. I can then use Query Process Analytics at configurable refresh intervals to monitor the process status until the second API returns a successful response. Once the process completes, I can retrieve the results and display them to the user in a grid. Is there any better approach than this /any drawback in this approach. Anyone had similar requirement? Please sugget.

Hi guys, I used ADT Plugin to produce report document using "Docx from dynamic template" , I got the images in the doc but the square bracket from bookmark is explicitly visible when I gave logo image(circular image).

I'm using the MS Word 2007 Doc from Template in that smart service, but when the document is uploaded, it still replaces a few value tags even though the replacement values are already present.

How can I initiate the SFTP in Appian Designer? Are there any built-in Plugins available like HTTP or Appian RPA to initiate the SFTP? How can I connect AWS with the Process Model in Appian and make the data interactive between them?

We are using a DocuSign integration configured and tested successfully in the development environment with a DocuSign developer account. However, we are encountering issues during the authorization phase when using the authorization link. The authorization flow redirects correctly to DocuSign, and the login page is displayed, allowing the user to log in successfully. However, after the login, the system does not return the authorization token to the application as expected. By checking the application logs, we can see the following error during the OAuth callback processing. This error appears multiple times; below is one example: 2026-04-21 05:57:39,619 [http-nio-8080-exec-794] ERROR com.appiancorp.connectedsystems.http.oauth.OAuthServlet - Error processing request to Appian OAuth callback URL. com.appiancorp.suiteapi.common.exceptions.AppianException: Failed to decrypt.
