Good afternoon,

I have a task that is the start of a simple process flow, which starts some more tasks and writes a report.

The task will be started with a http call to indicium. I thought the process flow would trigger when i http call this task but it doesn’t, it only executes the task I am calling. There are no errors in indicium.

The process flow works if i change the first task to a table task and start it in the application

 

I managed to get a set up like this working in the past, but I dont know what I am missing here, does anyone know? Thanks

Kind regards, Dennis

Start task is not a system flow action. To run tasks automatically you need to change them to Execute System Task instead. 

The start task could require user input. So you probably have to manually guide the flow: 

 

  • If the process flow reaches a process action that requires client input, then Indicium will return a 201 Created together with a Location header that points to the pending process action. The client can continue the process flow by sending a POST request to the continue endpoint of this pending process action.

I got a 200 OK code back from postman so it seems the process flow was not started at all by calling the first task.

 

But I do have it working now and it did have to do with user input: the tasks after the first one have to be execute system task actions.

I guess because the user input of the first task is the http body and subsequent tasks dont have any, they get their parameters from the process flow input variables.
