Hi Team,

I have created a WEB API in Appian only which is used to Write data to tables.
I want to use this WEB API on Interface load.
How can we do that ?

In Appian, on a UI, any data modification can only be the direct result of a user interaction. While there are some hacks to work around this, I strongly suggest to stay with this design paradigm.

You cannot modify data in the database on interface load.

I have a similar situation where I want to load data automatically when the user opens the human task on the interface page load, let's say. This way, the data will be updated and accurate from external APIs. The reason for this is that the data changes frequently, and the user needs to see the most current information without having to refresh it manually. So how we can achieve this??
