How to Trigger Process from an App (Video + Free Projects)

[Dan_Wroblewski]

Happy to release the first of 4 videos on how to trigger processes from SAP Build Apps using the new Processes flow functions.

The benefits of the new flow functions are:

• No more creating complicated data resources that manually call the API
• No more duplicating the process schema in your SAP Build Apps project
• Easily retrieve attributes from the process instance
• Easily retrieve triggered instances of your process
• Easily cancel or resume process instances 

The video comes with a free downloadable process and app so you can follow along with the video.

One tip: If you publish a process and update the inputs and redeploy, you must (1) republish the process and (2) update your data resource that points to the process. 

The 4 videos will explain:

1. How to trigger a process 
2. How to retrieve instances
3. How to retrieve instance attributes
4. How to cancel or resume a running process
