Integration to WorkflowGen using URLs
Thursday, June 24, 2010 at 09:12 Integrations to external systems using WorkflowGen are possible through the use of WorkflowGen Applications, RSS feeds, and the WorkflowGen Web Service API. Furthermore, integrations with WorkflowGen can be performed through the use of URL’s to perform the following types of functions:
- Request and action launches from any external site, with or without WorkflowGen frames and menus
- Launching an action in a non-WorkflowGen window and redirecting to another (non-WorkflowGen) web site
- Viewing a follow-up form disconnected from the WorkflowGen portal
- Viewing a graphical follow-up disconnected from the WorkflowGen portal
Use cases would include permitting the integration of WorkflowGen seamlessly into an external portal, such as Microsoft SharePoint, SAP Portal, DotNetNuke, or other web based portals. Filling out and submitting web forms as well as following up activities could then be performed without the use of the default WorkflowGen web portal if so desired.
To enforce the appropriate security in WorkflowGen, these URL launches require users to authenticate themselves and therefore work best with Integrated Authentication.
For detailed instructions on the exact URLs and parameters to use these features, please consult Appendix B of the Administration Guide.
