Hello,
I am working on a project where I am using REST API to create cases in ProcessMaker. So far, I can create cases successfully using the endpoint “'(URL)/api/1.0/workflow/cases/impersonate'”.
Using REST API, cases are created with the status “DRAFT” and the user can find his assigned case in Draft section. Once the user validate the form, the case is assigned to another user and the status is then changed to ‘TO_DO’.
Can I create cases (Using REST API) to create cases with status ‘TO_DO’ so that the first user in the workflow can find his cases inbox section?
Thank you

Install the extraRest plugin. Then use:
PUT http://{domain-or-ip}/api/1.0/{workspace}/extrarest/case/status/{app_uid}

Hi,

Thank you for you feedback.

For your information, i am using a cloud version of ProcessMaker, and i don't the permission to install the extraRest plugin.

Can we implement a trigger, once the case is created by calling REST API, the trigger will be executed in PM side to change the status

Can we implement this scenario? if yes, how can i implement this?

Kind Regards.

You can add the following the following trigger to your process:

Code: Select all

$oCase = new Cases();
$aCaseInfo = $oCase->loadCaseByDelegation(@@APPLICATION, @%INDEX);
$aCaseInfo['APP_STATUS'] = 'TO_DO';
$oCase->updateCase($aCaseInfo);  

Then, execute this trigger with:
PUT /cases/{app_uid}/execute-trigger/{tri_uid}

Hi,
Thank you for your feedback. I have some questions:
I can create the case using API Endpoint, is it possible to do the following approach:
Create a trigger using your code
Execute the trigger once the case is created as illustrated in the attached file.
If it is possible, what changed can be made on your code to change the case status?
Kind Regards

I don't know if the case exists in the database when a trigger is fired when the case is created. You will have to test it to see if it works.
