Hi [mention:765e189a8fe04dcb81da7360e05696f4:e9ed411860ed4f2ba0265705b8793d05]  mukeshr0002 [mention:83200b87486f491ab4742c4178286957:e9ed411860ed4f2ba0265705b8793d05]  I am trying an experiment with Appian RPA on using ms outlook api. I added the ms outlook api dependencies, but the maven is not downloading those jars. Only jidoka-client-api jar is downloaded, no other module apis are getting download. Please let me know what i am missing here POM  4.0.0 com.appian ctnq-ms-outlook 0.0.1 CTNQMSOutlookExtraction 2.15.1 1.2 17 jidoka 9.15.3 4.13.1 UTF-8 3.6.2 4.10.0 commons-logging commons-logging com.novayre.jidoka.module jidoka-client-api com.novayre.jidoka.module jidoka-msoutlook-api junit junit test commons-io commons-io ${commons.io.version}

Hi, I'm looking for more details about IDP, implementation directions and where can I find more help/documentation regarding this. I am new to IDP anything that you can provide would be helpful.  Thank you.

Hi everyone,Is there any way to maintain an audit trail of user queries and responses monitoring for review purposes of any chat bot mentioned above.thanks in advanced

Hi AllWhen i am doing filtering not getting expected output.Below code is mentioneda!queryEntity( entity: cons!LOCALE_TRANSLATION_NEW, query: a!query( selection: if( rule!P3_utils_checkIsNullOrEmpty(ri!columns), {}, a!querySelection( columns: a!forEach( items: ri!columns, expression: a!queryColumn(field: fv!item, alias: fv!item) ) ) ), logicalExpression: a!queryLogicalExpression( operator: "AND", filters: { a!queryFilter( field: "label_txt", operator: "=", value: ri!label_txt, ), }, ignoreFiltersWithEmptyValues: true ), pagingInfo: if( rule!P3_utils_checkIsNullOrEmpty(ri!pagingInfo), a!pagingInfo( startIndex: 1, batchSize: cons!P3_BATCH_SIZE[7] ), ri!pagingInfo ) ), fetchTotalCount: and(ri!isFetchTotalCount))=======================================When i searched "Research". It is giving me expected outputIs it default behavior of Appian ? Expected result - It should not return anything because there is no label like "Research  "

Hi, I'm using the Open Browser action in Appian RPA to launch a legacy web application. Occasionally, the website may be down, and when that happens, the bot execution fails with an error like "unable to navigate to URL." In such cases, I would like to trigger a notification (ideally an email) to inform the support team immediately about the failure. My questions are: Is there any default mechanism in Appian RPA to send notifications (like emails) on task failures? If not, what’s the best practice to implement an email notification when an action like Open Browser fails? Any guidance or examples would be appreciated! Thanks in advance.

Hi everyone, I have a challenge where I need to classify more than 10 different types of documents. I understand that the traditional Classify Document approach in Appian requires a substantial amount of training data to build an accurate model. Is it possible to use generative AI (Gen-AI) for document classification in Appian instead? Or is Gen-AI generally not suitable for handling multiple document types like this? I’m aware that the current Appian AI Skills for document classification do not use Gen-AI, but I wanted to check if there are any alternative approaches or best practices. I also tried using extraction with unstructured Gen-AI for classification, but it turned out to be more complex than I expected—especially converting the output to JSON and so on. Thanks for any advice or suggestions!ps; currently lacks of documents so i not using the classification document method xD

In UIPath we have reFramework (dispatcher, performer, reporter) and the queue/orchestrator splitting the work between bots. Can somebody please point me to a similar way of doing it in the Appian Academy? Thank you so much.

Hello, good morning. When I try to execute my Execute Robotic Task node, I'm getting the following error: "Creation of the Quartz job for robotic_task_remote_smart_service_EXECUTE.311_0_#be has failed." Does anyone know what might be causing this? Thanks in advance!

Is there an expression or component that can display the documentation of a rule on an interface the way it appears when coding?

Out of 3 environments (dev, test and prod), prod is giving wrong output to a default datetime conversion. Attached screenshots.  How to resolve this? Does it depend on some settings?Dev environment - First rule input is converted to GMT-4:00 Prod Environment - First rule input is converted to GMT-5:00 Created and deployed the same rule across environments, just to verify that I am not doing anything wrong. Appian Version 25.1Hosting: Cloud

Hi [mention:b1ec831bc63f413fb8baec7179cee8b3:23b05a61c3e5445190d9bfa00453bce4] / [mention:5357deb643314f689f0553cc98556414:23b05a61c3e5445190d9bfa00453bce4] ,  https://docs.appian.com/suite/help/24.4/rpa-9.16/java-module-ms-outlook.html  I'm working on creating a custom Java code for the Appian RPA MS Outlook module. While I've finished the Java component, I'm unsure how to integrate or put those into Appian RPA.  It would be great to get some insights on best practices and common challenges from someone with experience in this area. I tried to follow the Appian RPA documentation, but somewhere felt like lost. Could anyone with experience incorporating custom Java code into Appian RPA offer some guidance?   Thanks, Bharathwaj RK

I am using an RPA smart service within my process model.I pass through data to the RPA Smart Service which a bot will run to retireve data from a 3rd party application. PolicyNumberThe goal is to pull that information (policyNumber) out of the robotic task to use in the rest of the process model. At the moment the bot successfully captures and stores the data in the Variable, but on the Process Model side, it is still showing 'no value'. The result of the variable on the robotic task after a successful run:Any assistance on helping to retireve this text string or even persisting this data would be greatly appriciated.

Hello, mates! I would like to create a rule that will provide choices/options through parameters to be used with the choose() function (https://docs.appian.com/suite/help/25.1/fnc_logical_choose.html) However, the choices will not have a default length. I tried using Appian array, but as expected, it didn't work because choose() expects individual parameters, not an array. I'm working on creating a tab interface component, where the number of tabs isn't fixed, hence the need for dynamic choices. Does anyone have any hint on this? Thanks.

Hi team i am unable to fetching the data using the query entity,due to some restrictions i have to use the CDT only so i am using query entity for fetching  the data,(I want this data for displaying into the read-only grid)i have 2 tables in DB1st table having the 42 columns and 26191 rows of data so i am using the below code for fetching the hole data  a!queryEntity(entity: cons!1stentity,query: a!query(pagingInfo: a!defaultValue(value: ri!pagingInfo(Type:pagingInfo),default: a!pagingInfo(startIndex: 1, batchSize: 10)), ),fetchTotalCount: true(),), but using this code i can able to fetch 21568 rows of data only not able to fetch the whole data,2nd table having the 8 columns and 389434 rows of data so i am using the below code for fetching the whole data. a!queryEntity( entity: cons!2ndentity, query: a!query( pagingInfo: a!defaultValue( value: ri!pagingInfo, default: a!pagingInfo(startIndex: 1, batchSize: 10) ), ), fetchTotalCount: true(), ),From this tab

Yesterday I was able to create, save and publish Process Models with an AI Skill.  Today, after the environment I was working in was updated to version 25.2, I am unable to publish Process Models containing an AI Skill smart service.   Any attempt to save results in the following error: "Parameter Input Text on Activity Class Execute Generative AI Skill on node Blinken Lights! requires a value..." A process variable is correctly set on the Data tab.  The data type of the variable is correct.  I've tried changing the variable, using a literal value, rebuilding the node, etc.   Anyone else experiencing this?  What am I doing wrong?

Hi all, I enjoyed the Talbot presentation from Appian World on Prompt Builder that helps with improving AI skill results from last year (2024). Has anyone created a use case / skill for processing Sail exported code (particularly interfaces) for flagging variations from agreed upon coding, possibly referencing all of Appian Community threads to warn about potential known issues / KB situations that might arise?  Of course, Appian warns nicely for most issues, but if a scan to flag for areas that might need attention based on known conversation threads might be helpful on occasion?  Just thinking through more use cases with the Persona, User Intent, etc.

Hi everyone, I'm encountering an issue with Document Extraction in Appian Intelligent Document Processing (IDP). Specifically, I'm working on extracting fields that can contain multiple lines of text. Here’s what’s happening: I trained my extraction skill on several documents. The training report shows 100% recall and precision for the field in question. However, when I test the skill with the same or similar documents, the multi-line field is not extracted at all (like descriptions). This only happens with multi-line fields — other fields (like dates, names) extract fine. [emoticon:3c913c0db7eb4f9face51746da287257] What I’ve tried: Adjusted the label zone and verified it's correctly mapped to the field. Ensured the training data included examples with line breaks and variable-length text. Tried with both scanned PDFs and text-based PDFs. Reviewed field settings in the AI Skill configuration.

Is it possible to integrate Appian Enterprise Co-pilot inside a page/interface of a web app instead of opening it through 9 dots menu button?

I am not able to enable the RPA agent from my system, I have followed all the instructions mentioned in appian documentation like JAVA_HOME setup, Certificates everything. One time it got enabled and and after that I am not able to enable it again so I have tried uninstall and install several times but no luck.

I have a working hours set to 8:30 AM to 7PM EST, it should calculate only these hours for business days and remaining non working hours or non business days should not calculate.Example: requests submitted only calculate from monday-friday 8:30 AM to 7:00 PM ET. A request created on sunday 3PM. the clock starts at monday 8:30 AM A request created on Tuesday 6:45 PM. the clock starts at tuesday 6:45 PM/ pauses at tuesday 7:00 PM/ resumes at wednesday 8:30 AM. Earlier we had a plugin called calendar functions but now its archived, is there any other alternative way to do? 

I have used this code in my interface with different approaches and get this error everytime . I have used this code inside form layout and other layouts as well . Use simple without any layout In record summary view  Try it in expression rule and use that rule in interface  Expression evaluation error [evaluation ID = 15a08:f572c] at function a!documentsChatField [line 70]: a!documentsChatField cannot be called from user rule (APNX-1-4198-000) { a!documentsChatField( label: "Documents Chat", labelPosition: "COLLAPSED", documents: ri!record[recordType!SMRT Document Collection.relationships.smrtDocument.fields.documentId], height: "AUTO" ) }is there any other approach we can use for this component in our interface or if there is any other code reference that will be really helpful.

Hello,I am implementing a robot that performs user validation on an online portal. Upon completing the validation, it should press the button to save changes. When I run this robotic task from the object, it works correctly and saves the changes. However, when I execute it from a process model, which runs a previous robotic task before this one, the page gets stuck, showing that the changes are being updated, but nothing is saved. The process hangs. I have already implemented mouse movements and 12-second pauses, but nothing has worked. What do you recommend doing? Could the portal be implementing some kind of validation to detect bots? Thank you.
