Integrations

Has anyone successfully used JWT (JSON Web Token) to integrate with another system? Is Appian able to decode a JWT? It is necessary to use a plugin? I found this plugin https://community.appian.com/b/appmarket/posts/jwt-web-token-tools in the app market and I think that with the decodeJWT function I can achieve this. Can someone confirm this please?

Hi guys, we have the requirement to start an Appian process via API from an external system and redirect the user to the url of the first task of that process. I tried to achieve this in the following way. We created a process model and activity-chained the first user input task with the start node. Then we created a POST api and start the process with a!startProcess and we valued the onSuccess parameter of that rule like this: a!httpResponse( statusCode: 200, headers: { a!httpHeader(name: "Content-Type", value: "application/json") }, body: a!toJson({ taskUrl: a!urlfortask( index(rule!LM_getTaskDetailsByPid( pid: index(index(fv!processInfo, "pp", null), "id", null) ), "taskId", null) ) }) ) where rule!LM_getTaskDetailsByPid is a rule that, given a process id, retrieves the id of the active task of the process in the taskId component using a task report and query analytics. Unfortunately we noticed that sometimes this fail

Hi all, I'm trying to finalize the integration approach for Appian cloud with AWS RDS Sql server. It seems there are two options available. 1. Private Link 2. Ip Sec Site to site VPN connection (VPN Tunnel). (Also I understand Appian cloud does not support VPC peering, however I could not find the reason behind this. ) Private link cons: https://docs.appian.com/suite/help/21.2/Access_Customer_VPC_using_AWS_PrivateLink.html "RDS is not officially supported behind a Network Load Balancer; therefore, if you would like to connect to RDS environments over AWS PrivateLink, you will have to employ one of many workarounds to create a VPC endpoint service in their VPC." It seems Ip Sec VPN not required to update the DNS of the RDS instance. Still bit confused if there any other advantages of using Privatelink than VPN tunnel? Could you please enlighten me on this? Thanks. 

Hi Team, I have a requirement of calling different integrations in one PM node depending on few conditions. The response of all integrations are saved as a JSON file and usage of integration is "Modifies Data". Call integration smart service does not work as it does not have the privilege of setting up integration depending on conditions. Also calling integrations in script task/ER using rule! does not work as usage of integration is "Modifies Data".  Do we have any other plugin or smart service to fulfill my requirement?

Hi, Is there a way to establish CI/CD with azure devops instead of jenkins? Please guide on the same.

We have exposed Appian WebAPI to external and when it's being invoked like 1000 times in a bulk load process, and the linked Process Model itself just writes to 4 Record Types in Appian. But what is being observed is that, the Process instances are getting stuck at various nodes (Sometimes in XOR Node/ Some times on query Record) and on an average we are seeing 50 instances getting stuck out of 1000 being invoked. But if we only have 100 API calls at a time, then this isn't an issue. Any experience or suggestions.

I created my service account in google cloud console and gave the account owner role. When i create the connected system and i test the connection it works good but when I use it on an integration it crashes.

Hi, In one of our applications, we are using SAML OAuth2.0. When there is only one connected system, we are getting proper response. But when there are multiple connected systems, first connected system is able to connect successfully, but when second connected system makes a call, we are getting error saying " assertion has already been consumed" . As a work around, we are trying to add multiple Identity Providers, one for each of the connected systems. But when we are trying to add the second Identity Provider. As soon as I upload the IDP Metadata file in the console, we are getting the error mentioning -- Another identity provider already exists with the same entity ID provided in this metadata file. Entity IDs must be unique. Could some one suggest the solution for this. Regards, Chetana

Hi there, trying to learn building web api in Appian, could anyone know what's the problem here? the second parameter can not be CASTed? Best regards,

I have a .pem and .key file provided by ADP. I have uploaded to the Admin Console under "Certificates" --> "Trusted Server Certificates", when I add it to the "Client Certificates" I get a error for missing key file even though I'm not sure how to add it as well since its only looking for a .pem file. First question: is this correct to add it under the "Trusted Server Certificates" to use in an integration that calls the web service or should it be in "Client Certificates" and if so, how do I add the key? Now I read in the documentation that you're supposed to create a "Connected System" with HTTPS and set Authentication to "None". But I have a client id and client secret to add but to the body. Second question: Do I create a Connected System with None Authorization, then create an Integration that adds the client id/client secret to the Body in there? Third question: how do I utilize the client certificat

Hii Team,           Currently we are trying to use webhook for getting back the signed document from adobe. But in the creation of webhook itself, we are getting an error that "webhook URL is invalid". We have tried becceptor with adobe for testing purpose. So it worked there .

I am trying to access Appian data from an external system. If I send a 'GET' request on the URL of the webapi with the appropriate endpoint, I run into Cross Origin Resource Sharing problems and the headers provided do not pass my pre-flight request. I wanted to know if there are any configuration changes in Appian's webAPI needed to do so that it responds to requests sent from the other system's URL ?

Hello, We have a requirement to share the document stored in the Knowledge center with the ASP.net application.

Hi reader! I configured an post API (whose purpose is to write in database from outside Appian) which works well when I test it inside Appian. When I try to invoke the API outside Appian (that is through PostMan), it throws Error 500 - Internal Server Error. I have used basic authentication in PostMan Authentication. The user possessing this credential, is being made as the Administrator of API, data store and other required objects.
