Hi Community

 

Is there a way to start a workflow externally in Office365 like Enterprise Workflow ?

 

Thanks

I think this is how it works, you could create a custom ASPX (In which the logic was implemented) and create a url with the required params (ListId / ItemID and so on)

BTW: Just to get ensure, Nintex On Prem , can use (and uses) full trusted server side code but this is in O365 not possible, so you can't compare those

As far as I understood the architecture, you only have this two possibility's: (Please correct me if I'm wrong, or misunderstood something).

1. Create an Provider Hosted App (Azure) (as mentioned by Jan Eyres )

2. Create an SharePoint custom Page

In both cases you need to implement some logic, to call an workflow based on JSOM / CSOM.

Best Regards

Oliver

    I think you could look at using Azure Logic Apps. I haven't had time to try these out yet myself though.

    Hello, actually you can use any JSOM / CSOM Code to start an Nintex Workflow in O365.

    Hope it helps

    Hi Oliver

    It's interesting to start with js (I note it for another case) but I'm looking for rather a way to launch workflow through URL, like Nintex WF Ent On prem.
