Would love to see that procedure back in support, just yesterday i wrote a support ticket regarding updated version.
I'd just skip that Start-Job, in my example I'm just generating an XML file, but as a direct script, without any additional functions. New thread shouldn't be necessary, just add -TimeoutSec parameter, to make PowerShell wait for the request to complete. Invoke-WebRequest https://www.example.co
Seems like this one is a common gotcha, nearly sure that Jacek solution will solve it :) I wonder what % of platform users faced this one :D
Maybe there isn't PowerShell action directly in the cyclical action, but you could create a technical 2 step workflow, and on path add that PowerShell action. In the cycle just use start workflow action. I'm using that workaround for sending custom mass emails sometimes. When the schedule is d
Hi Nikolaus, Looked up through dotnet docs, and it seems like it's default limit of connection duration for HttpClient class which is internally used for REST actions. Seems like automations execution time limit doesn't override that limit too. I'm not aware of any configuration which webcon gi
I would add to this, that instead of saving whole URL you could consider saving only id parts of the url, and then using data row to concatenate whole address. So a column external_id would store 123456, and inside data row, you could do SELECT CONCAT('https://some_website/some/path/to/resource/'
Whoa, that's a nice idea, to be sure, just to make sure are you talking about this endpoint: https://webcon-dev/attachments/db/{db_id}/preview/{att_id}?
Hi Tobuj, My first idea would be a PowerShell action, which would trigger something like qpdf: https://github.com/qpdf/qpdf It should be doable with Stirling-PDF Rest API also: https://docs.stirlingpdf.com/API/, although it will require internal hosting of this tool. As far as I am aware, there
Hi Arthuzad, Assuming that the file is attached, then you could try to parse that XML using SQL, you can see an example here: https://blog.lumenn.pl/reading-xml-attachments/. When talking about javascript, you could create a business rule that will get the content of the attachment through sql, an
Hi Daniel, already tried it, without success unfortunately. Webcon uses Chroma.js to validate if color is hex or standard named color, there is a `valid` function, which calls for `color` class instantiation and this one prints an error in console. At least that's what i think is going on :)
It would be nice to have, especially for end users, at this moment such validation can be done on path transition, which isn't the nicest way.
Hi, we've already got this one on the user voice, although it might be forgotten since the under review is there for some time :) https://community.webcon.com/forum/thread/3931?messageid=3931
Can't say how many times i've tried this, would be a great feature, hopefully in the new web designer studio ;)
Hello, since the new UI we've got much more users on the dark theme of webcon, it brought however a few new challenges with custom colors on controls / lists. At this moment we are able to set custom css styles - background/text using attribute configuration: https://docs.webcon.com/docs/2025R2
Hi Antonina, most of `Actions` which are executed, require that the document already have a database ID assigned so it have to be saved. It's technical limitation of the platform. You could add something like `On open` -> Use path, which will do the save automatically, but I wouldn't recommend
Query looks fine, could you maybe share some errors you've got? Most common erros when moving a document by external systems i'd say is that document is in step, in which selected path doesn't exists, are you sure, that document on WEBCON side is in step, in which there is selected path to transi
I'm assuming there are 2 processes then: 1. Dictionary 2. Process which on some form has an item list. If you want to add something to the dictionary - by "insert" i'm assuming it's a new document, then you could try to use start a subworkflow action: * https://docs.webcon.com/docs/2025R2/Stud
Hi Arthuzad, the question is very vague, but i'll give few shots to answer: 1. Inserting / Updating on database provided by WEBCON breaks EULA point 3.6 / 1.23 (https://webcon.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/WEBCON_EULA_EN_2025.pdf). 2. If you need to import some data into a dictionary, then the
Hi Nikolaus, I've checked how it works in our environment (version 2025.2.1.35). First of all i've created test api definition as seen in screenshots, a simple example - just starting new empty workflow. An important thing was to check Authorization mode, documented here (without it i've been g
Here is an example SQL which I'm using in few reports: ( SELECT DTYPE_Name /*Change this to any column you'll need*/ FROM WFElements JOIN WFSteps ON WFD_STPID = STP_ID JOIN WorkFlows ON WF_ID = STP_WFID JOIN WFDocTypes ON DTYPE_ID = WFD_DTYPEID WHERE WF_GUID = 'af556142-72
