I have a processflow which starts when I execute a task named 'request_reactir’.

An external application also needs access to this functionality, so I wanted to make it available with Indicium. However, when I enable API, the task will not start the process anymore.

Should I make a copy of the process flow for external usage of am I doing something wrong?

Hi Peter,

The "API” checkbox is not needed to allow external parties to run the process flow via the Indicium API. Indicium automatically creates API endpoints for all process flows in your application and therefore external parties can simply call that endpoint. In the most recent version we renamed the checkbox to “Custom protocol” to remove confusion.

Hope this helps!
