Issue with DOCX Page Count Plugin - Incorrect Results Hi Team, We're encountering an issue with the DOCX page count plugin we're currently using. This is impacting our document processing and causing problems with element positioning. Problem: The plugin is incorrectly reporting a page count of "1" for some DOCX documents when they actually contain a significantly higher number of pages (e.g., 22 or 25). Impact: This incorrect page count directly affects our element positioning logic, leading to misaligned elements within the documents. Our use case relies on accurate page counts to properly position elements. Investigation: We have thoroughly examined the affected documents and found no issues that would explain the incorrect page count. The page count reported within the document's properties/info section is correct (e.g., 25 pages). This suggests the problem lies within the plugin itself. Urgency: This issue is blocking our workflow as

I need a plugin or a way to delete packages using a function in an interface. We are building an interface where we specify the packages that are already deployed, so it can be deleted automatically for storage purposes.

Does appian support wild card certificates? in the form of *.dev.orgname.com

I have a REST service that posts a lot of data to a table in Appian (136k+ rows).  The problem is the primary key in the service is not the same primary key that Appian is using.  I cannot match the keys because, the service's key is unpredictable.  Government data, yea!   For my REST post I simply need it to find the record with a matching value (if it exists) then update it, or else create a new record. a!localVariables( local!value: cast( 'recordType!{b44d0eeb-090e-4c8f-b858-1f684423adbc}DCQ Weekly Extract', a!fromJson(http!request.body) ), a!writeRecords( records: local!value, /* * Construct an HTTP response to return to the caller */ onSuccess: a!httpResponse( statusCode: 200, /* * Set an HTTP header that tells the client that the body of the response will be in JSON format */ headers: { a!httpHeader(name: "Content-Type", value: "application/json") }, /* *In

Hi Team, Where should we see the additional configurations of the web api we create like rate limit, timeout, payload size limitations, retry threshold etc? Is it modifiable for cloud environment? Along with that, I also have few other questions below:  1. when we expose our data via API, as an additional security, do we have any methods to black list/white list system IPs? 2. what's the good practice regarding rotation of authentication credentials in web api? 3. what is the typical response time for webapi?  Thanks in advance!

Hello Everyone, I am using another client’s SFTP server for demo purposes, which uses SSH key pair authentication with a private key that works in FileZilla. I have created Third-Party Credentials in Appian using the username only and uploaded the private key along with a constant associated with it. Here is my File Transfer Configurations CDT: 'type!{plugins.ps.appiancorp.com/.../}FT_Config'( serverHostName: "xyz.com", serverPort: 22, scsExternalSystemKey: "aws-cmd", usePerUserCredentials: false(), privateKeyFile: tointeger(cons!MS_SFTP_USER_PRIVATE_KEY_FILE) ) I am getting an error: invalid private key: [B@5bbde572. I know the private key works fine because I have used it in FileZilla.

I have two records. I prepared the data attached. The records are: one is LTM GROUP and the other is LTM USER. Both are related records. I have heard that we can store data in the base and related child record in one shot. As GroupId is the primary key in LTM Group (autogenerated), plus LTM User has a foreign key named userGroupId, and obviously, this table also has a primary key userId which is autogenerated. Can you please help me with storing data in tables with the help of writing records in a single shot? /*Group*/ { recordType!LTM GROUP( LTM Group.applicationkey : 1, LTM Group.appiangroupkey : 25, LTM Group.name : "Admin", LTM Group.updatedby : "rt343", LTM Group.addedby : "rt343", LTM Group.dateadded : fn!date(2025, 2, 25), LTM Group.disabled : false ), recordType!LTM GROUP( LTM Group.applicationkey : 1, LTM Group.appiangroupkey : 26, LTM Group.name : "RTR User", LTM Group.updatedby : "rt567", LTM Group.addedby : "rt567", LTM Group.dateadded : fn!date

Hi Team, I need to fetch data from a GraphQL API endpoint, but I'm unsure about the connected system required for the connection. The client has provided the ClientId and ClientSecret for AWS Cognito and mentioned that they are using SRP (Secure Remote Password) Authentication. However, I'm not sure what additional information is needed to establish the connection to the GraphQL service. Can you please provide more details?

Hello, We had recently updated the SFTP Functions plugin to v3.0.2. After the update, the SFTP Send File smart service is failing with the error "Auth fail". Third-party credentials are setup and have not changed. The plugin has access to the third party credentials. The FT_Config CDT has got updated (due to the plugin update) and has the below structure: Smart Service Inputs: We are passing the values to the smart service as below:             File Transfer Configurations: 'type!{plugins.ps.appiancorp.com/.../}FT_Config'(             serverHostName: cons!SFTP_HOST_NAME, (text)             serverPort: cons!SFTP_SERVER_PORT_NUMBER, (integer)             scsExternalSystemKey: cons!SFTP_EXTERNAL_SYSTEM_KEY, (text)             usePerUserCredentials: false(), (boolean)             pr

Hi Team, Is there any plugin available for python to integrate with Appian?

Hi Everyone, I need to implement functionality to read, write, and update specific JIRA tickets through an integration between Appian and JIRA. For this, I'm referring to the JIRA API documentation: https://developer.atlassian.com/cloud/jira/platform/rest/v3/api-group-issues/#api-rest-api-3-issue-issueidorkey-get   To authenticate, I plan to use OAuth 2.0 (Authorization Code Grant) as outlined in the documentation here: https://developer.atlassian.com/cloud/jira/platform/oauth-2-3lo-apps/   I have already created the necessary app in the Atlassian Developer Console for OAuth 2.0, and I successfully set up the connected system in Appian. However, I'm encountering an error while trying to create the integration system. Could anyone please assist me in resolving this issue and help me complete the Appian-JIRA integration?   Thank you!

Hi All, I have installed the Content Tools plugin and am using the getcontentobjectrevisionhistorydetails function to retrieve version details. I am passing a UUID and filtering the results by the modifiedOn date. However, I am encountering an issue where the modified date field is not correctly reflecting the changes made. For example, when I select the modified date as 2/6/2025, the result from getcontentobjectrevisionhistorydetails is null because it is returning same as created date value, but it should give latest version date value which highlighted in version details below. This can be seen in the information below:  creator "Balavamsikrishna_vinnapala@contractor.amat.com" (Text)              createdon "1/29/25 AM GMT" (Text)              modifiedon "1/29/25 AM GMT" (Text) Version details of one object Created 2/6/2025 10:08 AM by sala vamsi Krishna Vi... 1/29/2025 l

All, I am trying to using Google Drive connected system(https://docs.appian.com/suite/help/21.4/google-drive-connected-system.html) , to create folder, upload and download documents  to and from google drive folders. Then API  operations  (like createFolder, uploadFile, downloadFile, etc) all work perfectly  on a personal folder of an auth user, but   the same operations are not working on a SHARED folder in google drive, Has anybody got that working with a Shared drive?  I checked out some documentation on google drive APIs  at (https://developers.google.com/drive/api/v3/enable-shareddrives?hl=en)  and found out that supportsAllDrives=true  parameter is required to enable these operations on a shared drive. But there is no way in the connected system to pass this information.  Any ideas? Any suggestion?  Thanks Pal

Hi! I have three questions regarding the Excel Tools plugin. Sadly the documentation is not very precise.1. How can we read headers with spaces (Example: a column with a header "User Name")? I found this question in two different threads but they are almost 10 years old, which have links to appian sites that are no longer accessible. 2. One of our clients provides us an excel that is automatically generated, and has +10 columns. I'm only interested in 3 of those columns. Is there a way we can pick and choose which info from the excel we are interested in? I'm using the Import Excel to Database smart service. I'm pretty sure that the "Excel Header Names" and "Database Field Names" parameters might be useful for this case, but I don't understand how to use them properly, and the documentation does not say a lot about them.3. The same excel that I mentioned in my 2nd question starts at row number 3. Row number 1 & 2 have som

Hi,  The requirement is to export data to an excel file and add filters on all columns in a row, so that the user can manually select the filter manually. Export is successful using "Export DSE to Excel", but how to add the filters on all columns.

Hey, does anyone know how to use this? I tried something like this, but when I selected text on the document, nothing happened. I know it's wrong, but the descriptions from  [mention:d980071ec4a04401afc047d67fdc6548:f7d226abd59f475c9d224a79e3f0ec07]   weren’t very clear to me. If someone could guide me on how to use this instead of the smart service, I’d really appreciate it!

Does deploying custom plugins with custom data types automatically create CDTs in Appian? If not, does the plugin deployment fails if those CDTs are not created manually prior to deployment. Thanks in advance!

Sorry if I'm missing something obvious/another tread on this topic, but I haven't been able to find anything related after digging for a while and banging my head against the wall on this. Is there a way to natively pass variables into an integrations relative path?  The goal is to have some user input field for that variable to pass through to the external endpoint, who's required format is along the lines of:  base_path / relative_path / {variable} / relative_path2 I'm looking to avoid as much custom code as possible, but any help/advice would be appreciated!

Hello Everyone! We are using consume KAFKA plug-in, however the source system is publishing data to Kafka in Gzip format. In Appian we are reading data from consume KAFKA plugin able to store kafka messages in database. The body of the Json data is in Gzip format. Can anyone suggest how to decompress the data while reading data from database.  Example:  {"topic":"testTopic","partition":0,"offset":23,"key":"123","value":"\u001f�\b\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000"} Thanks for your help!
