How to create a task dynamically using REST API

1. Only i can you process id, and user id
2. The task id has to created dynamically

I don't understand the question.
If you want to get the ID of a starting task in a process, then use this endpoint:
http://wiki.processmaker.com/3.0/REST_A ... ting_tasks

If you want to define a new task and add it to the process, there are some undocumented REST endpoints for that. I can look through the source code for them but that is very complicated.

Yeah that's correct but i need to create the task. Instead of creating in processmaker i need create via REST API

Like this:

Start ->Task1->Task2->End

I can't find the REST endpoints to dynamically create tasks in the Community Edition source code at:
workflow/engine/src/ProcessMaker/Services/Api/Project

I know the Projects team has dynamically created processes using REST, but I suspect that they must have created custom REST endpoints to do it. I emailed the developers to ask them how they did it.

What are you trying to do? You can probably create a fixed process with gateways to skip tasks and then pass variables to the new case to skip the unwanted tasks in the process.

Yeah you are right. but i'm using the processmaker as a third party plugin. So i would like create the tasks dynamically by passing new project name and parameters.

The projects team used custom REST endpoints and the code is proprietary so I can't share it.

The best thing for you to do is export a process and study the format of the .pmx file. Then, dynamically construct a .pmx file and use the POST /project/import endpoint to import the .pmx file.

In your file, you will need to use all new unique IDs when importing a process. The following function can be used to generate your IDs:

Code: Select all

function generateUniqueID () {
        do {
            $sUID = str_replace( '.', '0', uniqid( rand( 0, 999999999 ), true ) );
        } while (strlen( $sUID ) != 32);
        return $sUID;
        
        //if wanting all uppercase:
        //return strtoupper(substr(uniqid(rand(0, 9), false),0,14));
}

Thanks a lot
