Start a flow from a regular (system) task

Hi,

I am trying to start a flow when a task is executed through the Indicium API from an external application. The task itself is executed as expected and returns the information gathered from the task. The account to execute the task uses OAuth2 authentication with client credentials and the account connected to this definition has the rights to both execute the task as the process flow to which the task is definied as the "Start task". It is a regular flow (no system flow), but there is no user interaction in the flow. It is just to automate some additional functionality and shouldn't block the returning of the response for the initial task.

The issue I run into is that the process flow isn't started. I have read some topics where it states that it should be possible to start a process flow in this way, but I am probably overlooking something here.

Someone an idea what I could be missing?

Hello ​@Robert Wijn 2,

Are you sure that the process flow is not starting? It could also be that the process flow is started, but that it does nothing (for example because the task has output parameters that are not mapped to the input variables of some process action).
You could take a look in the process flow monitor to verify whether the process flow actually starts.

Additionally, it could help if you send a screenshot of your Task configuration + Process Flow configuration.
