We currently use a Scheduled System Flow to loop through an API message queue and process any new records that have been added to the queue. Instead of a scheduled process that is basically polling for changes, we would like to be able to trigger a System Flow to interface a certain record (from Thinkwise to a 3rd party application) or to retrieve data from another source (for instance when notified by a Notification service like AWS SNS).

Hi Arie,

System flows have their own API endpoint within Indicium so they can be called by external services easily. For example, by calling https://indicium/iam/appl/{system_flow_id} you can initiate the flow to start.

You can also start an system flow instance from a Process flow by using a HTTP connector inside your process flow and call the same Indicium API endpoint to start the system flow.

Does this suffice or would you like more added to the platform in this regard?

@Mark Jongeling No, this does not suffice. We would like to be able to initiate the start of a System Flow ad-hoc from within the platform. So literally with a trigger (or something similar).
