Hello good , When I send a mail in appian , I need to know if the mail has been delivered correctly or if it has been rejected . The objective is to send emails in a massive way, and in the email addresses where it is rejected, stop sending emails.

Hi! I am currently assigning tasks to 3 groups simultaneously and then waiting for their response based on which action is taken. if any one of them rejects the task, task goes back to initiator only after the other 2 have taken action on it(accept/reject).But now I want to not wait for the other users, as soon as one of the users reject the task it should immediately go to initiator and the tasks for the other 2 users should be cancelled. SO if all the users accept , only then task will proceed to the next step.How can I proceed with this?

Please tell me how to send email to multiple recepients using send email smart service

Hi Appian folks! I want to add rows dynamically in a pdf file using PDF Doc from Template smart service. I created a CDT with multiple values and mapped that variable to the pdf field. Although it won't create one row for each value. Is it possible to create a new row in a pdf dynamically for every value in CDT using PDF Doc from Template smart service?   

Hello Appian Community, Use-case - We have a process containing 8-9 stages(UI Screen), each stage having "Next", "Save" & "Back" buttons. Requirement - Need to capture the time spent by the user on each stage and use this for auditing and generating reports for business owners to understand, how much time users are spending. Approach - Appian provides a process property name "starttime" and we can configure a script task with a custom process variable with "endTime" as the "now()" function. Need Suggestion -  Is there any better OOTB feature to achieve the requirement? What is the value of "starttime"?How to capture "endTime" without configuring an additional script task after each stage? Appreciate your suggestion. 

Hi, I'm working on aprocess model to update data form a record type. If after 5 min the user has not submitted the form an exception end the task. The problem with this option is that after the exception there is no way to close the dialog box. Is there any possible solution for that?

When attempting to save a process model, an error message “An unknown error has occurred while saving the process model” appears and the changes to the process model are not saved: Appreciate for the suggestions/solution..

Hi all, I'm trying to create a generic save process which will take a map list as a parameter that will be converted to different types of record types for a write records MNI node (since I can't do 1 write records for different record types). I want to know if there's a way to iterate through the map and convert it to it's appropriate record type. Better approaches are welcome if you believe this is an anti-pattern. I want to centralise a few a!process saves through this process cause it seems like creating a save process for each screen is overkill.

Hi,  I have this process model in which there is a complex node. This node I have configured to execute all the outward flows only when it receives exactly 2 inputs ( because at no time will it receive more then 2 inputs ) But then the problem here is that complex gate never ends, its always in green .. and because of this the parent process model does not complete. Is there a way to rectify this ?  The configuration :      

Hi everyone, I'm experiencing a Load Error when I want to debug my process model. On the Monitor page, it does not show at all that the process has started. But in the Cloud Database, the information that was entered has been updated. And on the System Logs, it says that the "Server is UNAVAILABLE. Make sure your collector is running and reachable from this network. Full error message...." I also tried running it from the Record Type, but the same still happens.

Hi everyone, I hope that you can help me with this case, here it is the use case: I need to realize a process structured like this: User receive task (it has to see a read-only form); User validate the data contained in the form using a button; User need to confirm through Microsoft authenticator the action (or OTP via sms, if authenticator is not possibile); Process continues with the next steps. Is it possible to realize something like this? Thanks, Daniele

Hello all, We have a requirement to provide the user with the option to set recurrence mail timings from the UI. For each request the user creates, there should be a section where they could select a start and end date and different times. From the start till the end date, a mail is expected to be triggered on the selected time. For example, when a request is created, if user selects start date as today and end date as today()+5, and if the user specifies the times as 8:00, 13:00 and 16:00, then for 5 days, the user is expected to receive mails on these 3 time slots. What would be the best approach to do this in Appian? Thanks in advance

Is it possible to update the expiry time of an Appian task dynamically every time it is accessed? The initial expiry time should be set to 1 hour when the task is triggered, and the expiry time should reset to 1 hour every time the task screen is accessed?  I expect a smart service kind of a function to update the expiry time of a existing task which can help in the scenario. Your suggestions please.
