    This is a very good question, and there is some use cases where one might need a!startprocess rather than a!startprocesslink and vice versa.

    I will link these discussions and doc links that will guide you in the right direction and hopefully answer all of your questions

    Links:

    old discussion thread regarding the same question

    feel free to reply with any further questions you might have.

    best of luck.
