May be we can use email based approval configuration for forms and send email from workflow to monitored inbox. Hope this works.

Hi Chandresh

 

But you cannot generate a mail from other source that works as an answer to the email approval. I already try that for another project making a copy paste of the mail that Forms generate. The mail need to be from Forms in order to take the answer.

Out of curiosity, why would you need to "approve" a Form via Workflow? If you have Workflow outputs that could render the user approval step unnecessary, then you should just bypass/cancel that user task when those conditions are met.

You could set up a parallel gateway that evaluates the values updated by the Workflow. If you want Workflow to "approve" the Form, then bypass the user task, or have it trigger a Signal Throw event that cancels the user task.

For a Form to be approved within a User Task, you need a user account to make that approval. If it is an automated step, the "approval form" becomes unnecessary because you could just use Workflow to input the values and skip the user task.

I believe some people have automated forms in the past using HTTP Form Post in Workflow, but that was before there was so much built-in integration.

Hi Jason

In a BP there is a particular task in which they assign a user task and that user got a LF license but they want that user make the work in a 3rt party application (because he needs to do more than just approve or reject, at least in that other SW) so I was thinking in send the info to a table and by a monitor workflow when they send me the signal back with result and comments to the table I send that to forms and let the process continue with the internal approvers.
