Hi actually there is a process in our project in which one process completes in the SQL server after that the status code changes and then the Appian process model starts at the click of a button once the status is changed. So is there a way to trigger that process model without clicking on that button on the change of the status? We tried triggering the process model through webApi from SQL server but failed. Is there any other way out?

    Are you calling some integration to get the status code? If so, you can add a Rule event in your process to continue the flow when you get required status code.

    No, we are updating the status code via the process model

    Please correct me if I am wrong. So you run a process in Appian that changes a field in the database. Now you search for a way to start a process as this field changes !?!?

    All ways to start a process (from a trigger outside of Appian) are documented here: Ways to Start a Process - Appian 23.2
    Have a look if any of them offer you possibilities.

    Good luck!
