Can we send hidden process variable data to sub process?

One of our customers has a requirement to send messages to students. Currently, we use AT&T's email-to-text feature to send these messages via email. However, AT&T is deprecating its email-to-text and text-to-email services, which means we’ll no longer be able to send or receive SMS messages using email. We're looking for alternative approaches to achieve the same functionality within or alongside Appian.Has anyone faced a similar challenge or implemented a different method for sending SMS notifications from Appian? Any guidance would be greatly appreciated.

1. Synchronous Start Process - Here, documentation says, we get the output of the process variable from child process to the parent process. 2. Activity chaining in Sync start process - Here the documentation says, Chaining through a synchronous Start Process node means the original process will wait for other process to complete before continuing. Any activity chaining in the started process is not connected to the original process, so a broken chain will not return process variables to the original process. process variable will be returned to the parent process or not?. Please clarify 3. start synchronous process using start process vs sub-process As per this, if the parent child relationship isn't followed, how we are able to get the output variable as mentioned in point 1 documentation? If the Activity chaining in the parent and child are independent, why does the parent process waits for the child to complete? As per point 2, it s

In new 24.4 we have Synchronous and Asynchronous option for Start Process smart service . Then what's the difference between Subprocess Synchronous and Asynchronous things ?

Well, how am I supposed to reference the properties of this query in another process model? It is a dictionary, however I cannot reference a dictionary in a process model, so would it be supposed to convert the query to a map or what? By the way, it contains some wierd properties like c0, c1, c2...dp0, dp1, dp2... How could I cast this dictionary into a map then? Thanks in advance

I'm trying to delete using a delete action inside interface using a stored procedure because I also need to delete related data from other tables. However, I'm facing an issue: the entity is successfully deleted from the database, but it still appears in Appian. I have a subprocess that runs after the stored procedure to sync all the updated tables, but the entity remains visible in Appian until I manually trigger a sync—after which it disappears as expected. Does anyone have any idea what could be causing this issue? Any insights would be greatly appreciated! here u can see the main subprocess sync : and an example of one subprocess sync:

I have a Record Type with this "Sync Expression": if( a!isNullOrEmpty(ri!idRecord), {}, a!queryRecordType( recordType: 'recordType!{5608cfad-fc67-4a81-93b5-722c9b55f2c5}MIN Prueba API', filters: a!queryFilter( field: 'recordType!{5608cfad-fc67-4a81-93b5-722c9b55f2c5}MIN Prueba API.fields.{af91da05-b274-48ee-b4f1-c7332fac38ff}id', operator: "=", value: ri!idRecord ), pagingInfo: a!pagingInfo(1, 1) ).data) ,where idRecord is an Integer rule input.

I ran a health check the other day and under the # of large SAIL interfaces used in record views, related actions, start forms, process tasks and reports section, there were a few lines that say: I searched but haven't found what this might mean in terms of a health check. Does anyone know if these lines are actionable? TIA

Hi I've checked around on the discussion board and don't know if I've seen any definitive answer on this one.  I have some processes that, when retried via Appian Designer, are not able to connect to this API. 2025-03-10 18:56:33,523 [Appian Work Item - 1713306 - WorkID 802 - execution05 - process 9100525 - model 171 : UnattendedJavaActivityRequest] ERROR com.appiancorp.connectedsystems.http.execution.AppianHttpRequestExecutor - ConnectorRuntimeException [title=There was a problem with the request, Failed to connect to https://*/*/ftk/rest/v1/recordItemOrder] There are thousands of requests between our Appian infrastructure and the APIs infrastructure, all of which connect without issue, which rules our FW or network related issues.  The above is the only log that is displayed, there aren't any other clues here.  Is there somewhere else I can look at to see exactly why I cannot connect? Appreciate any help on this. Mike
