HI We are exploring a potential integration pattern and would appreciate guidance from the community on whether this is feasible within Appian’s integration capabilities—specifically around user-specific authorization with Box when a process is triggered via email. Use Case Overview A user sends an email containing a Box folder link to a designated mailbox. This email triggers an Appian process via Process Model Email Polling (this is currently working as expected). The process then attempts to download documents from the referenced Box folder. The key requirement is that Box access must respect the sending user’s specific Box permissions. Current Authorization Approach We plan to use OAuth 2.0 Authorization Code Grant for Box authorization from within Appian. We are intentionally not using the JWT approach, as it requires Box admin-level permissions and provides broader access than desired. This approach works well when initiated from the Appian UI, whe

I want to generate an excel sheet using JSON to Excel converter plug in. Even though I am passing the json correctly, I am getting an error message:

How do I get prime numbers 1-100 ?

Hello,  I am currently working with a record which is being used in 2 different websites on the same environment. These 2 websites have a different look and feel, and some record informations should only be displayed on one of the website, but not on the other one. Is there a way to keep using the same record on these 2 websites, but have the summary interface dynamically change depending on the website it is accessed from ? For instance, if we access the record from website A, some cards are hidden, whereas if we access the same record from website B, the same cards are showing. So far I haven't been able to find a way to "detect" the active website from my interface, and I am not sure this is possible. Thanks

When using a!startProcess within the interface button, the process instance is successfully created and completes as expected. However, despite the successful execution, the a!startProcess function moves to the onError block, resulting in unintended error.

We have a WebApi to approve requests (mostly in html/JavaScript/Appian)  This page contains a table which has a link to download documents from filenet. It works fine for Application level roles but redirects to Appian sign in page for non-Application roles. We were told to fetch documents from Appian instead. I created a post webapi(doc) which has start process(retrieve docs from filenet) and returns docId in json . This is working fine but when calling this webapi(doc) in Integration, it fails with 302. Provided basic auth, tried with serviceaccount as well. Idea: create another get webapi to invoke this integration and call in approval page. I'd appreciate if there are any other ways for non-Appian users to access documents can be given. Any guidance will be appreciated. TIA.

Here’s an overview of my process model: the “PDF Doc from Template” smart service generates the PDF file using an editable template. Below is the structure of the template: All fields in the template are configured as multiline and can hold up to 5,000 characters. Since each field has a fixed height, any content exceeding the visible area becomes scrollable within the field. After generating the PDF using the “PDF Doc from Template” smart service, I use the Fill PDF smart service to flatten the document and make it read-only. Everything works as expected up to the point where the PDF is created and stored in the designated folder. The issue arises when the Fill PDF smart service is executed. This functionality was working correctly before scrollable multiline fields were introduced into the template.

I need to call a stored procedure that takes a lot to complete (around 6min) and it does not return anything. It could be called in a async way that it would not matter.  Having said that, can I just use the timeout field to give it a short value (one second) being sure that in the DB, the SP will complete even if my Process model completes?Cheers

I am loading data from an Excel sheet into an Editable Grid. I added Edit and Delete buttons for each row, but the actions are not functioning as expected.

Hi everyone, While following the Appian Developer course, I noticed that multiple PDFs for the Step-by-Step exercises (for example, Build an Application: Step 2) cannot be opened. They seem corrupted or possibly outdated for the current version. I’ve tried downloading them again and opening in different viewers, but the issue persists.Is there an updated version of these documents or an alternative resource for these exercises? Thanks in advance for any guidance!

Current Situation:We have two applications hosted on Appian and have configured session timeout settings. When there was only one application, after the session timeout, a popup appeared, and upon resuming, we were redirected back to that application’s page.Now that we have two applications with the same timeout configuration in the Admin Console, the behavior has changed. After the session timeout message appears and we resume the second application’s UI, the system redirects us to the first application’s interface instead. Question:Why is this happening, and what can we do to ensure that after refreshing post-timeout, the user is redirected back to the second application’s UI?

Hi , I am building a document upload form after uploading the document it should be populating in the gridfield with the link format where user can download the lfile. but that field is coming as empty.  This is my code.

Hi everyone, I’m trying to create a nested ordered list in the following format: However, I’m facing two issues. Issue 1: styledTextEditorField flattens the nested list formatting Instead of rendering a proper second-level indentation, the styledTextEditorField flattens it into something like: Here is the HTML I’m using: <ol start="2">    <li>        <ol type="a">            <li>Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit.</li>             <li>Praesent ac lorem non risus gravida accumsan.</li>         </ol>     </li></ol> It seems the component does not support nested <ol> indentation. Is there any workaround to make the nested list (“a.”, “b.”) render correctly inside styledTextEditorField? Issue 2: When generati

Send Message Event: In the Setup tab, for 'Message Destination', select the Receive Message Event that is in the Process Model where you need to send the message. To do this, search for the process model and select your Receive Message Event. In Data tab, 'DestinationProcessID' is the ID of the process instance of the Process Model to which you need to send the message. Click on "New Mapping" and name it. Configure the 'type' based on your need. The 'value' should be your process variable which holds the message(data) to be sent. Receive Message Event: In the Setup tab, for 'Receive Message', select 'Process to Process'. In Data tab, click on 'Import Custom Properties', search for the Process Model where you have the Send Message Event, and select your Send Message Event. 'Value' will be automatically set. Then store it in the desired process variable. My Use Case: In Process Model A, I call an i

In the Test environment, suppose a constant named PV_TXT_TEST already exists. Now, if I create a new constant in the development environment with the same name (PV_TXT_TEST) and deploy it to the Test environment, what will actually happen during deployment? Will Appian throw an error saying that the constant already exists, or will it overwrite the existing one? This scenario came up in one of my interviews. In my current project, I don’t have permission to deploy to the Test environment, so I wanted to understand what the actual behavior would be.”

In the Appian User Interface, I have a grid with colored rows. My requirement is that when I click on 'Export to Excel' from the grid, the downloaded Excel file should retain the same row colors. How can I achieve this I am uploading image

Hi, How can I show a grid with different color ( 3 different colors) based on the days between Today and another day. In the below image right now column2 is showing with red line. Any idea how can I develop this. Any helpful comments please. 

I need guidance on designing an Appian dashboard that displays a live, interactive map showing pins for all active parking locations. Each parking location has latitude and longitude, but these coordinates should come from user input by clicking on the map through a create form in Appian. What is the best approach in Appian to embed an interactive map that supports both: Displaying existing pins from stored data. Capturing new coordinates when a user clicks on the map? How can I pass clicked coordinates back to Appian from the embedded map component and use them in a form submission? What’s the best way to refresh the map dynamically after a new pin is added?

I have a process model that loops itself. In the screenshot I'm having an error in start process which I labeled as Node 2. The error is the max subprocess depth limit of 100 would be exceeded. My question is, if the subprocess depth limit is 100, the main process as count 1 in the process depth counter, the next start process smart service as 2, and the recursion as 3. Shouldn't it run only around 50 times? I checked logs and the process run 100 times, before getting an error in Node 2 in the screenshot. I think my calculation is just wrong but I need clarifications on how is this calculated.
