Question

How do I use HTTP Form Post Activity to create a new Laserfiche Form and start the Form Process?

Workflow Forms

Updated May 18, 2015

asked on June 3, 2014

I searched Q & A, and there is a answer "You can use the HTTP Form Post activity in Workflow to start a Forms business process.", however, I wasn't able to make it work.

To test:

I made a simple Form with one text field. Then, create Form process to send email to me.

I made a Workflow with HTTP Form Post Activity.

Workflow finished without error.

httpformpost_response status 200
httpformpost_response status description OK
httpformpost_request succeeded True

However, Laserfiche form was not created.

Did I miss any steps to make it work?

While you can use this Workflow activity to start a Forms process, it is not necessarily a recommended practice. This process could break down at the slightest update, and would not be completely reliable. That being said, it is definitely possible with some configuration. This functionality is commonly requested and our developers are currently working on further communication between Forms and Workflow.

Hi Jason,

Do we have any further updates on the possibility of starting a Form via Workflow since the release of 9.2 ?

Many thanks,

Dom

Can you please give more details on configuring the "HTTP Form Post" activity to start a Forms business process? Within this Worflow activity I'm trying to pass a field value and submit the initial form that starts the Forms business process? Thank you.
