Hello, I seem to not understand how a system step works properly. I have a workflow, in which I want to send a mail in a system step and then go on to the next step. The mail is sent, but the system step does not go to the next step. (we have Webcon 2025.2.1.91) ("move workflow" is not available; only "move workflow (sql)", but it is not possible to move the workflow you are in at the moment) (there is only one path after the system step and it es marked as default path) (the ar (...)
Hi, after switching a single line text field to an integer number several automations broke - as excpected - because the column name has switched from WFD_AttText1 to WFD_AttInt1. Starting a WF instance brings always an error - as expected. That's why I gave the "verify process" a try and I hope to get some warnings due to broken references. Unfortunately there is no warning and I had to search manually and found a broken one in a "data source value" filter as shown in the screenshot. (...)
Hi, how is it possible to set a step with a timer that first activates e.g. with an offset of 75 minutes. Unfortunatelly the offset dropdown with "Day" can't be changed to "Minutes". I tried different combinations of options and the only one was: - First activation > Start date: Immediate or Step entry date > Offset 0 day > Interval 75 Minutes - Repeat in cycles: yes > Number of executions 2 (finite number) This way the 1st activation is immediatly and the 2nd and last 75 mi (...)
Hi, I need to create a mechanism where the user filters data using attributes, and the Grid returns data. It could be around 10-20,000 items. I need to save this data. The Item List might have a major problem or might not work, but I'll try. Then I need to process each item from this list (document reference number) --> Another workflow from step A to B. As you know, BPS wasn't really designed for such operations, but I'm thinking of doing it using a global action that moves workflows i (...)
I have a workflow that will wait for an attachment to be added. The attachment is added via A mailbox. I can trigger action uppon instance saving, however i did not find a way to do a path transistion. I appreciate all help.
Hello everyone, I’m working on an appointment function in WEBCON BPS. A user registers an appointment and types in the date and time when, for example, a customer is coming. When I click Register, I want BPS to automatically create more workflows (appointments) based on this one. My idea is: the user also enters an interval (e.g. every 7 days) and a limit (how many appointments). Then BPS should create: the main workflow date with e.g. 01.01.2026 (the user typed in) the next one with 0 (...)
Hi all! We have some email templates in our process. The difference between these templates is basically the header image, other content is the same. Now we have to add a new process, but unfortunately there is no way to use a template from other process. Global email template is very restricted, unfortunately there is only one. I know we could work with some global field, added to each process, determining the type of template, but then we will have a hard time, refactoring our exis (...)
Hi everyone, I'm looking for an out-of-the-box solution or a workflow I can build that automatically sends users a weekly email summarizing all their pending tasks across various applications. Ideally, this would consolidate tasks from multiple applications and deliver a clear, actionable list. If anyone has ideas, suggestions, or experience with similar setups, I'd really appreciate your input! Thanks in advance!
Hi Our WEBCON BPS process base grow quickly and some applications got complex having many processes and flows. Our users base is spread across several departments / business units and countries. The result is that we need to process many change requests from various sources and it is a challenge to synchronise all development work to find a point in time, when all changes have been tested and approved. So, we need sometimes to deploy the application that includes untested features what often (...)
Hi, I'm looking for ideas on how to start an automatic process on a schedule that checks each row of a dictionary that has 3 types of dates. The goal is to automatically start another process when a specific date from the dictionary is reached. How can this be implemented? Thanks in advance!
Hi, I’m looking for the best approach to handle long-running operations (potentially taking several minutes) in WEBCON BPS. Scenario: Suppose we need to perform time-consuming Active Directory updates based on a list of items within a WEBCON BPS workflow instance. Given the current execution time limit of 120 seconds, this may not be sufficient. Workaround Approach: My current solution is to use a scheduled Windows Task (created via a PowerShell integration action in WEBCON), then trans (...)
Hi, If a user has an XLSX file with 100 rows, where each row represents a new item, is it possible to allow them to start new instances of a given process based on that file? In this case, the goal would be to automatically create 100 new workflows.
Hi Community, We are experiencing an issue with parallel tasks in both WEBCON BPS 2021 and a new 2025 installation. A task should be assigned to two users, and the workflow must wait for both users to complete it before moving to the next step. In workflow, I have a task step that correctly implements this logic. Task is assigned via business rule. Later in the same workflow, after a conditional gateway, there is another task step with an identical configuration. However, this task proce (...)
Hi, I want to send attachments from the WebCon system as email messages, specifically PDF files. Is there an option in WebCon to add a password to such a PDF file, so that opening the file would require entering a password?
Hi, I have a process that use API to send data to another system. I have a patch in WebCon to check status, based on the feedback, process moves to the next step or waits another hour on the timer. I want to change this. I found this option in WebCon API: Path that will be used by element PATH /api/data/v6.0/db/{dbId}/elements/{id} But my second system don't have a PATH method. Do you have any ideas how to automatically move a process to next step but based on the POST method in We (...)
I am trying (without any success) to read data (ie. employee id) from an existing text-based PDF (test pdf created via MS Word). The documentation is explaining the different actions (ie. wait for ocr ai, wait for text-layer), but not how they actually work together or how to use them. Maybe I am completly wrong in trying to use "OCR AI recognition", "Wait for OCR AI" etc..... My goal is: * A configured hot-folder puts a pdf into a workflow (=> working) * A step/action/etc. reads the em (...)
Hi, I am unable to figure out how to use the Webcon REST API for starting new element. My issue relates to the "ChoicePicker" / "Autocomplete" fields, where I cannot find the way to submit the value. I think that I have tried all the combinations, but I always end up with the same error. Public Api POST /api/data/v6.0/db/1/elements - "formFields"[] - "guid":"...", "value": [{"id": "115"}] - "guid":"...", "value": [{"id": "115", "name": "ElementName"}] - "guid":"...", "svalue": "11 (...)
Hi, I need to build a process that will work as a service, check a mssql table, and start the process if new rows are added to the table. Single process based on a single row in SQL table. Maybe someone has built a similar functionality? Best regards.
Does Webcon save the time a user stays in a given process step, i.e. the time from entering the step form to moving to the next step or clicking the save button? I want to make a report out of it to calculate KPIs
Working Area: TEST-Server Hi everyone, i just tested the PUBLIC LINK feature the weekend before, and everything worked fine with my PUBLIC LINK and my private GMAIL-Adress. We want to give unknown guests (except an invitation email) the possibility to log into a step of a specific workflow, press the path button and then lose access to the instance. Today we upgraded to the 2024 Version on TEST-Server and now, with the same App and EMail, i get an error translated to "The verification o (...)
