Hello- We are using the MS Graph Poller plugin & am trying to poll an outlook mailbox, the data gets properly persisted into the DB but i would like to know how do we identify the current record context, right now its not returning any record id back, it only give Mailcount processed but not any id to piggy back the record. Can someone please let me know on this, am trying to get hold of the documentation for this. Regards NK

Hi Everyone, i have a task where i need to send OTP's to the numbers by sending SMS through appian, how can this task be performed. Thanks, Sathvik

It seems like in order to use MS Graph Email Poller for different inboxes, I would want to set up different schemas in the MySQL Appian Cloud database (so the tables APP_MAIL_POLLER and APP_MAIL_POLLER_DOC that the plug in uses would have a unique table per inbox).  Are there any drawbacks to this approach that someone might be aware of? We have the SCS and everything set up correctly (except for a permissions error on the secret element which is out of date). The documentation of that plug in mentions that the jndi should be set up as a datasource in admin console.  Does that mean that it treats the connection as 'accessing it from external code'?  Or, can we reference it in a different way? Thanks for any insight!

Encountering an issue with the ESRI ArcGIS map component plugin. Specifically, I'm utilizing the 'esriMapMarkerField' configuration to mark points, lines, and polygons on the map. Within this configuration, there are fields named 'onNewPointAdded', 'onNewLineAdded', and 'onNewPolygonAdded', which are supposed to trigger and save the new markings added by the user on the map. However, I'm facing a problem where after adding a point on the map and saving it onto the record type, the next time I attempt to fetch that point, it doesn't appear on the map. It seems like there might be an issue with retrieving and displaying the saved points. Could someone guide on how to ensure that points added to the map are retrieved and displayed?

Hi Experts, Third party app admin has provided me API to call along the bearer token to authorize. Kindly suggest if  Appian can use such bearer token Authorize the API calls or not if yes then can we use it in our connected system or not, for now I have used it directly in the integration object as header but its not working. While using below Request payload in Appian Integration object its not being read properly because of the [ ] brackets.{ "advanced_search": { "condition_rules_attributes": [ { "type": "ProfileTypeRule", "comparison_operator": "==", "value": "some vale" }, { "type": "ProfileStatusRule", "comparison_operator": "==", "value": "Active" }, { "type": "ProfileAttributeRule", "condition_object_id": "some value", "object_type": "NeAttribute", "comparison_operator": "==", "value": "some value" } ] } }

Hi Team, We've run into a unique problem with the Excel Tools plugin.  Scenario is as follows: We have a set of records with various data types and a pre-formatted Excel template where cell types are already configured. For most values the export is unproblematic as the standard Appian 4-byte integer is enough to handle the integer values. However, there's a new requirement that allows us to handle values beyond that limit (i.e. LongInt), which can be used on database side, but cannot be mapped to Appian Records where we have to rely on Text values instead. While there are plugins like Big Numbers Functions that support big decimal and integer numbers, this doesn't change the fact that we are still providing the Excel Tools plugin with a text values. Although the text is all natural numbers, the cell format in the exported Excel is of type Text and must be manually changed after download before it can be used downstream. My question to you all is whether you have

Hi all,  I am starting to build a custom plugin for our Appian Cloud setup. I need the Appian plugin SDK jar to compile the plugin. Can someone please help me or point me to how to access the SDK jar.

Title:Appian Plugin Deploys Successfully but No Modules Appear in Admin Console (Expression Function) Question: Hello everyone, I am developing a simple Appian expression function plugin using Java and Maven in Spring Tool Suite (STS) for Appian 24.1 On-Prem. The plugin deploys successfully in Admin Console, but the Modules column is empty, so the function does not appear in the Expression Editor and cannot be used in an Expression Rule. What I have done so far: Created a simple Java class: package com.example; import com.appiancorp.suiteapi.expression.annotations.Function; import com.appiancorp.suiteapi.expression.annotations.Parameter; public class HelloPlugin { @Function public static String hello(@Parameter String name) { return "Hello " + name + " from plugin"; } } Created appian-plugin.xml: <appian-plugin key="hello-plugin" name="Hello Plugin" description="S

Hi everyone, We’re working on enabling document preview functionality in our Appian application. We created a Web API that can successfully preview and download documents from the UI. However, we’re facing an issue specifically with Microsoft Office files (Word, Excel, PowerPoint). Instead of previewing in the browser, these files automatically download. Current behavior: PDF files preview correctly in the browser MS Office files (.docx, .xlsx, .pptx) always trigger a download, regardless of browser settings We are returning the document via a Web API using proper headers, but preview still doesn’t work What we need help with: Is it possible to preview MS Office documents directly in the browser using Appian? Does Appian support inline preview of these formats, or do we need an external viewer (Office Online Viewer, Google Docs Viewer, etc.)? Any recommended approach, best practices, or sample configurations to achieve inline preview?

I am using Export DSE to Excel node so currently, the data in each tab of the Export uses the default horizontal (normal) formatting.  The user would like to have the columns transposed to Vertical formatting when the Excel is created. Excel tab show the data in vertical rather than horizontal.  So, column A would have all of the column headers, Column B  & Column C should hold the related data and so forth.

Hi everyone, I am developing a Custom UI SDK component (JavaScript/Web Component) to create a custom image gallery. My goal is to have this component working seamlessly in both Appian Sites and Appian Portals in version 25.4. The Problem: I have tried using existing plugins and my own custom code, but images are not rendering. When passing the Document IDs to the SDK, the component fails to display the images. I suspect this is due to session/authentication restrictions or how the source URL is being handled, especially considering the architectural differences between Portals and Sites. Technical Details: Version: Appian 25.4. Component type: UI SDK (JavaScript). Current approach: Passing a list of Document IDs and trying to resolve them within the component. Issue: The <img> tags remain empty or return 401/403 errors when the component is loaded. What I need help with: What is the best practice for passing Appian Documents to a Custom UI SDK so they are accessible i

Hi Everyone, I have few questions regarding the two AWS S3 related plugins available in Appian. Currently there are two plugins that appear to provide similar functionality for uploading and downloading documents to Amazon S3: Amazon S3 Utilities (Smart Services) AWS S3 Bucket Management (Connected System / Integration based) Both plugins seem to support operations such as uploading documents to S3 and downloading objects from S3. However, they follow different approaches in terms of configuration and usage. My questions are: 1. What is the main architectural difference between these two plugins? 2. Are they intended for different use cases (e.g., process-based vs integration-based)? 3. Is the AWS S3 Utilities plugin considered a legacy approach compared to the Connected System based plugin? 4. For new implementations, which plugin is generally recommended by Appian? I would appreciate any insights on when to use each approach in the real time. Thanks in advance! Ananda

I am using the Import Excel to Database plugin along with a Connected System to download Excel files from a client’s Google Drive. Here is the behavior I am observing: When the Excel file is created using Microsoft Excel, the file is downloaded successfully via the Connected System, and the plugin works as expected. All the data present in the Excel file is imported correctly. However, when the Excel file is created in Google Sheets, or when an existing Excel file is opened/edited and saved using Google Sheets, the file is still downloaded successfully, and I can see the complete data in the file. But in this case, the Import Excel to Database plugin treats the file as null and does not return any data. In both cases, the file extension is .xlsx. Is this a known limitation of the Import Excel to Database plugin when handling .xlsx files generated or modified by Google Sheets? If so, is there any workaround or recommended approach to handle Excel files comi

Hello, We are experiencing an issue with the PDF From HTML plug-in, as it generates the entire output on a single page. I would like to understand whether there is a way to render the content across multiple pages, preferably using a standard A4 page size. The problem becomes more pronounced when the generated content is very large and exceeds approximately 200 inches in page length. In such cases, Adobe has limitations when opening the file and truncates content at the top of the page. As a workaround, Adobe is only able to display the full content when opening the file in a web browser. I would appreciate any guidance or recommended solutions to address this limitation. Thank you.

We recently migrated our Appian environment from a legacy EC2-based infrastructure to Kubernetes. Following the migration, the below plugins have started failing. Affected Plugins: Rich Text Editor (Vuram): https://community.appian.com/b/appmarket/posts/rich-text-editor-vuram Timeline Chart Component: https://community.appian.com/b/appmarket/posts/timeline-chart-component Both plugins were working as expected prior to the infrastructure migration. Issue After moving to Kubernetes: The components are failing to load in the UI. Questions Has anyone experienced plugin compatibility issues after migrating to Kubernetes-based Appian environments? Are there any additional configuration steps required for custom plugins in Kubernetes deployments? Is there any known compatibility issue with these specific plugins in Kubernetes environments? Any suggestions or guidance would be greatly appreciated.

Hi Everyone,I am trying to create a SharePoint Connected System using Client Credentials-Entra ID authentication.

1. Responsiveness / iframe height (main priority)I have a custom component plugin  that loads in an Appian interface. The plugin’s UI is responsive (e.g. adapts to mobile and different breakpoints), but the iframe and field layout do not adapt to the content height. In the interface designer I set the component Height to Auto. The parent div gets the class CertifiedSAILExtension---height_auto, but the iframe still has an inline style like height: 270px !important; overflow: hidden;. So the plugin content grows vertically (and is responsive), but the iframe stays at a fixed height and does not grow with it. Content is cut off or overflows below the visible area. The JavaScript API reference (e.g. 25.3) only documents how to receive the height parameter via Appian.Component.onNewValue(); I don’t see any documented way for the compon
