I'm building a small PoC where i need to write to an Excel spreadsheet. i need to save my data in certain cells positions.Everything i'm finding points me to use the Export dataStore to Excel Smart service and to specify those cells positions in the node input using the twocustom cell position / custom cell values.My problem is i don't have a CDT to load from, this is a purely sync records PoC. do I really have to build a CDT structure to get this to work ?

I am using SQL to Excel smart service and when exporting the data in excel, the headers are not coming in BOLD

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. Only values of type Encrypted Text can be decrypted. (APNX-1-4260-002) It seems that the OAuth callback is reac

We are using Rich Text plugin(Vuram) in our application and facing multiple issues some of them are - Copy the data in specific format and paste that in the editor. This does not maintain the formatting but disturbs the copied formatting - Generating some extra metadata within HTML tags causing failure in the document generation - Nested list items is not maintained too What are the options we have available to avoid such issues as the data formatting while copy paste or manual is prime requirement with the proper HTML generated by the plugin.

Hi, we are using the function a!sapInvoke to integrate with SAP throught RFC. Weeks ago, the integration worked  and we received the results expected. For development requirements, external system add some parameters and change the lenght of some text fields (from 20 to 25). After those changes, we receive errors on specific fields, but the return message gives a value that doesn't match the one sent. So, we check with external system and the problem is on all fields. For example, if we pass the parameter of the below images, external system receive as key1 the value "ABC/AAA/456789001/20ABC". It seems it takes the first 20th char and then take the others from key2. ICould you help us to understand the nature of the problem, please? Thanks in advance. Regards

I am looking for some guidance on generating large PDF documents in Appian.We have an existing site page that displays more than 13,000 records. As part of an export feature, we retrieve the data, generate XML content, generate a word document and then convert it to PDF (using Advanced Document Templating plugin). Currently, the export process retrieves around 3,000 records. Each record contains several large text fields (around 5 - 6 columns) so the overall amount of content is quite large. The word document is generated successfully and is about 768 KB in size and has approximately 5 million characters. The issue occurs during the word to PDF conversion. The conversion starts, but it appears to consume significant resources and causes the environment to become unavailable.  My questions are: 1. Are there any known character limits for Word to PDF conversion plugin?2. Are there any alternative plugins or approaches that are better suited for large documents? I understand

Hi Everyone, I’m facing an issue while generating a PDF from a dynamically generated Word document. Requirement: Capture multi-line text from an Appian UI Paragraph Field Populate it into a DOCX template using DOCX From Dynamic Template Convert the generated DOCX to PDF using PDF From DOCX Both smart services are from the Advanced Document Templating plugin Issue: The DOCX file is generated correctly and preserves all line breaks as expected. However, when converting the DOCX to PDF, the line breaks are not rendered in the PDF output. What I’ve tried so far: Replacing char(10) with the XML equivalent 
 Tested multiple variations, but the issue still persists Implemented solutions suggested in the references below (Links referenced below) Link 1: https://community.appian.com/discussions/f/plug-ins/28870/line-break-docx-from-dynamic-template Link 2: https://community.appian.com/discussions/f/plug-ins/28812/next-line-not-working-when-converting-from-do

Hi Everyone I'm currently facing an issue while exporting data from a specific table that contains more than 50 columns. I'm using the Export Data Store Entity to Excel plugin, but it throws an error during the export process.

We are looking to implement user interaction tracking within our Appian applications. Specifically, we want to capture granular data like field-level interactions and form engagement.The analytics solution must be local (on-premise / self-hosted). Has anyone successfully integrated a local analytics or product usage tool with Appian to achieve this? We have looked into Matomo, but found the implementation overhead too high. Inserting integration calls across every field and interface requires too much manual effort and maintenance. Thank you in advance!

I am using the Advanced Rich Text Editor component (Vuram) and have set the maximum size limit to 4000. When testing, I noticed that the component shows 100% usage when I enter around 3700 plain text characters, even without any formatting.  My assumption is that the component stores the content as HTML and the size calculation includes not only the text I enter but also the HTML tags generated by the editor. When I checked the source, the total HTML content length was around 3989 characters, which is very close to the configured limit of 4000.Is my understanding correct, or am I missing something? Has anyone else experienced this behavior or knows how the size limit is calculated?Any insights would be appreciated.Thanks!

Hi Everyone as I was working in a scenario for HTML To PDF Conversion 2.1.6 Input  : Søren Mārtiņš İbra12m Núñez Guðrún Dvořák ŚmitaOutput : Søren M#rti#š #bra12m Núñez Guðrún Dvo#ák #mitaBefore that for the charset I have fixed it in webApi headers: {a!httpHeader(name: "Content-Type",value: "application/json; charset=utf-8")and it has been fixed.Now the issue happening after generating the PDF

We are trying to send emails with attachments using the MS Graph sendMail API. We're seeing an issue where the document is not being converted to Base64, see screenshot below. Is the issue that we're starting with a json and converting to dictionary? This was done because if we define the dictionary directly, the key "@odata.type" is not recognised properly because of the period. Thanks!

we are looking to use the MS Graph API to create and send emails our issue relates to an odd behaviour we are experiencing when attaching large files. All attachments under 3mb work as expected. Per MS documentation when attaching >3mb we should use the "Attach Large Files" API. Per that process we get a session and then chunk the upload, when we start the upload the API immediate terminates. Has anyone been able to successfully attach a file > 3MB by breaking into smaller chunks and send an email. A similar plugin MS Graph Utilities uploads something larger files by breaking into chunks into One Drive/SharePoint but is there something similar which attaches it to an email?

I created email template in word and needed to add the logo image so I added it using insert and uploaded the template as document in appian, after I used this template in send email node in process model so while I am opening the mail I am not able to see logo image. some error come as "linked image cannot be shown. File may be moved or deleted. Verify that link points to correct file and location" Can anyone help me in this issue.

I have GridPlus implemented nicely and does the basic editing and saving as it should, what a great plug in!   But... we have a requirement added to create a related record which would link the edited items to a known key value in a related table. Since both the queryRule and gridsubmitchanges->editModel are kind of rigidly defined, I've been thinking of ways to accomplish adding the record to join the edited rows with the other table. Can a related action apply to just the 'edits' / is there a way to pass that?   I explored the possibility of a 'tempKey' in the queryRule's queryRecordType, but can't really insert that known key value there.  If I could just get the data into the record, then the editModel could do the additional writerecords & sync. Is there some simple way to accomplish this without having to get heavy handed by maybe writing to another data store to be re-read in the editModel

Hi community,I have a scenario where i need to Send JSON in a paragraph field from Appian interface, Which should call a WEB API, but as we can't call WEB API directly from interface, I'm calling INTERFACE>INTEGRATIONS>WEB API, It's not working and I don't see PM is starting which was configured inside a WEB API using a start process for success response or even failure response.Can someone Suggest me a Better way if we can do this.Thanks in Advance

Hello guys, So I was trying to add image to the document (both dynamic and static) . I included the required image doc as constant in my XML. I got the id of the document in the generated document. Some discussions explain about bookmarks. I have tried that but still the same. It gets a bracket outside of the doc Id. So Any other possible solutions. Also I want some notes or any references or other new things in this plugin for my seminar. Thanks in Advance. First image is the template. Second one is the xml code. Third one is the one I got so far.
