Hello guys,I wanted to ask if there is any way in appian to execute a process if no action was taken after a certain period of time.My scenario is very simple. I do have a process model that updates the task status to completed through a script task, save the changes with write records and sends an email notification afterwards.What I am trying to achieve is changing the status to completed if no action/button click is taken in lets say a couple of days. 

I have created a new appian account and emailed community.appian.com from the new account to transfer the certifications to new account as my old account was deactivated. How may days will it take to transfer it new account. Could you please help me here.

Is it possible to build a web api in Appian to receive documents through multipart/form-data as body?In my case appian is adding following metadata and making the file unreadable(corrupt) --TnQmfygKfP801A_kE1bGL-7YAFk_k6gl9 Content-Disposition: form-data; name="file"; filename="Profile Picture.jpg" Content-Type: image/png Content-Transfer-Encoding: binary

Hi all, I'm working on a scenario where, upon opening the Appian application in the user's browser, we need to execute JavaScript to retrieve an XML file containing contextual data from external Proteo 4 applications. The goal is to use this data to continue the process in Appian with all relevant information from the previous application, without having to pass everything through query parameters. What the client wants to achieve: Execute JavaScript or listen to window events when the Appian application (or interface) loads. Retrieve an XML context file based on an ID passed via the URL. Convert this XML to JSON so Appian can consume the relevant data. Store and use this contextual data within Appian to restore or continue the user's workflow seamlessly. Has anyone encountered a similar situation where JavaScript execution or window event handling was needed to retrieve external contextual data on Appian startup?How did you approach it? Are there any best practices, work

Dear Team, When I am working on a case in workspace, I observed that unless I manually change the case status and assignee from the 3 dots button, these fields do not change automatically. Is this an expected behavior? For example, even if all the tasks of a case are completed, and I manually do not change the status, the status remains "open".

I passed the ACD101 certification exam, where can I see the breakdown of how many answers I got right by category? The screen closed immediately after I finished the exam.

How to remove duplicate letters from the string without changing case of letters input "Deleted" output "Delt"

I have a textField that I do not want users to be able to enter in a space unless it is a part of the case number. For example, users should not be able to enter this:  But if there are spaces in the case number, then it should be allowed I've tried regexmatch, I've tried a if / isnullorempty statement  example:  if( a!isNullOrEmpty(ri!notice), "Case Number is invalid.", null() )

We currently have a system that allows users to upload documents. We are currently filtering out password protected documents using the ispasswordprotected() smart function. Recently we encountered a document that was "Restricted" (Please see attached image). Is there any function currently within Appian that allows the system to check if a document has any "Protections" on it at all. the above smart function does not account for the additional types of protections outside of passwords. 

I have a requirement where I need to send reminder emails to clients one day before at 9:00 AM as per their respective timezones. My environment timezone is Australia/Melbourne, but clients can belong to different timezones (e.g., Asia/Kolkata, Europe/London, America/New_York, etc.).

Hi all, I have an API to call from our application, in which we need to send message timestamp in ISO UTC format "2025-04-02T15:57:77Z" So now apart from formatting the date time with concatenating T and Z, do we have any other function which can directly convert time to this? 

I can see appian is allowing to give lead developer exam directly, is that possible without associate and senior certifications. Please tell your thoughts about it.

Hi all, I’m getting a 403 Access Denied error when trying to open a workspace. There’s no visible owner for this workspace on my end. Does anyone know if access must always be requested through Appian Support, or if there’s another way to resolve this? Thanks in advance!

Hi everyone, With Appian 25.3, a new version of a!queryRecordType() was introduced, and the previous version is still available as a!queryRecordType_25r2(). This evolution brings more control and clarity over which fields are retrieved. Key difference between the two versions 25.2 - a!queryRecordType_25r2() When no fields are specified, all base record fields are returned automatically. Even if only relationship fields were passed, the base record fields would still come back unless explicitly narrowed down. 25.3 - a!queryRecordType() When no fields are specified, only the primary key (id) is returned. To retrieve all fields, the new a!selectionFields() function should be used with its allFieldsFromRecordType parameter. Why this matters for wrapper rules In our applications, most queries are wrapped in a reusable rule that takes a single fields input. Callers of these wrappers don’t (and shouldn’t) need to worry about the function version or its internal

Dear Support Team, I am trying to schedule my Appian Certified Associate Developer exam, but I encountered the following issue when accessing ProctorU: "This Institution does not permit creating a ProctorU account. Please navigate to your course Learning Management System for scheduling and rescheduling ProctorU reservations." I attempted to register directly on ProctorU, but I was not able to proceed. I understand that scheduling must be done through the Learning Management System, but I am unsure where exactly to do this inside Appian Academy. Could you kindly assist or guide me through the correct steps to schedule the exam? Thank you in advance for your support. Best regards,
