Triggering an automation from a process app
When one or more automation workflows are set up for your process, you can trigger an automation from your process app. When you trigger an automation, one or more queue items will be created and added to the selected Orchestrator queue. See also Setting up Automation integration.
You need appropriate access rights for the Orchestrator queue to run automations. See Managing access and automation capabilities.
Follow these steps to trigger an automation.
-
Use the Filters to select the cases for which you want to trigger an automation. See Filters.
Note:You must at least select one case. By default, the maximum number of cases that can be selected for the automation is 50, but the number can be different for your process. The number of cases that can be selected can be between 1 and 1000.
