Using query string parameters to integrate the Silverlight workflow designer into third-party applications
This whitepaper explains how to integrate the Silverlight browser-based workflow designer in third-party applications by leveraging query string parameters, including a walkthrough of the concept by exposing and using the workflow designer in Box.
Several enhancements to the Silverlight-based Workflow Designer (as of K2 4.6.11 and later) allow you to integrate the designer into other line of business (LOB) systems via query string parameters. These enhancements allow you to design K2 workflows and start workflows based on events and artifacts from LOB systems for which K2 does not ship OOTB integration.
This document is divided into two parts: a description of the available query string parameters, and a walkthrough that demonstrates the concept by integrating the workflow designer into Box and starting a workflow from within Box.
