I am trying to create an email that will go to an non Appian user.  I am putting 2 links/buttons in the email for them to click and in turn would like it to start a process.  First, is this even possible?  Second, in my HTLM code, do I set mode to cors or no-cors?  Third, where do I put the authorization in the HTML code?  I set up a service account in the admin console and added it to the user group.

I am using one function readcsvlogpagingwithheaders to read login-audit.csv file and this function is working fine in lower enviroment and reading all the data but in prod we have 3 servers and its reading log data from all the 3 servers but not reading all data. Any idea or has any one faced this issue before? Thanks in advance.

Hello everyone. I would like to know if it's possible to use Appian as a consumer for a specific Kafka topic. In our very specific case, let's suppose a user updates an address and the message is replicated to multiple systems, through Kafka. Our idea was to enable Appian to consume from this topic and these messages. I tried to configure the Kafka Tools plugin available in the AppMarket, but I can't seem to configure the nodes correctly. I have a demo instance in Confluent Cloud and I was able to do some producer/consumer tests locally and also via Python Client, but I'm not able to consume anything when it concerns Appian. Do we have a better way of integrating with a Kafka topic? Kind regards

I am updating a custom plugin that utilizes the Knowledge Document Type and uses the getInternalFilename() to get the absolute path of the document. That function has been deprecated, what is the preferred replacement, as I still need the absolute path of the document. Would getExternalFilename() return a similar value.

Hi Community,    I need to create a record type based on an external Airtable table. AirTable provides a REST API for querying the data, so I decided to create a Web Service based record type.  I already created a connected system and confirm that is returning data.    The issue here is the paging (due to the expected number of records) - Airtable does not accept a page number as (query) parameter, only the page Size.  In each response, beside the record list, there is an attribute called "offset" that should be used in next request (send as a query parameter) to get the next page (and so on).  When we get the last page, the offset attribute will be empty. Additionally, there is no way to know (in advance) the number of records in the Airtable.    As the Appian paging is based on batch number, I do not have any idea how to proceed.   Hope that somebody knows a way how to handle this type of paging.  Thanks in advance

I want to edit the group's membership rules dynamically from Appian UI, do we have any smart service/function available to achieve the same? Thank you in advance.

Hello! Our integration with DocuSign just stopped working on August 29th at around 2:30 eastern.  We spent the morning with DocuSign techs and were not able to resolve the issue.   DocSign came back with "This would indicate that the mechanism relaying your auth token is either not properly relaying it or the token itself is being cut off. The messaging would indicate that it's not being included at all, and that the CORS related error I was seeing was a red herring related to attempting to send envelopes without a registered IntegratorKey.  We have put in a support ticket, but is anyone facing this issue?  And if so were you able to resolve it?

Some integrations (i.e. CRM Dynamics 365) have scopes tied to the environment. For some reason, this is the only parameter that we cannot put in an Import Customization file and it gets overwritten on each full deploy of the application.

Hi , Is there any plugin to convert html file to docx file? I see document utilities (plugin from aspose) says they have this option. But they only have docx to html but i need the vice versa.

We are trying to assert a specific payload onto an SQS queue from Appian to be picked up by an external tool and processed.  Given that Appian doesn't have an AWS SQS interface natively,  we've been trying to use the SNS Rest API to apply our payload onto an SNS topic and let a filter feed it to the SQS queue.However we're having a lot of trouble configuring our Message Query Parameter and our MessageAttributes.Does anyone have a sample POSTMAN, or even a screen shot of a successful Appian -> SNS integration with a message body and message attributes?  Any help that can be offered will be gratefully received.

Hi,  I am currently working on a use case  that requires the generation of JWT tokens based on PKCS#8 standards.  I've chosen JWT plugin for this task. However, it seems that this plugin is compatible only with private keys that are based on PKCS#1 (RSA) standards. Is there any known workaround  to fulfill this requirement ?   Thanks, 

Hi people. I'm in need of a solution for this situation: I'm using the OSM map component and I need to render a polygon / region in the map by passing a list of coordinates.Basically, a user can select from a list of regions. When the user selects region X, the map updates and shows the region X.Sadly I can't find a way to render polygons with this plugins, I can only render markers individually.
