Hi,
 

Could you please advise whether a workflow can be automatically actioned using a basic task form when data is inserted into the SQL database, with minimal manual interaction?
The intent is to manage and action tasks directly through the Workspace, without developing a custom form.


We would appreciate confirmation on whether this approach is supported within the existing workflow capabilities.

Thank you for your support.

It is certainly possible to use a basic task form:

And action it via the K2 Workspace site without developing a custom form; ootb it will look like so:

If you want a task to be automatically actioned when data is inserted into a SQL database, you may be able to use of a SQL trigger:

CREATE TRIGGER (Transact-SQL) - SQL Server | Microsoft Learn

that calls back into K2 and action the task via REST:

Workflow REST API: Open and Complete Task

or the SourceCode.Workflow.Client api:
