Programmatically go to next step from participant step

Avatar

Level 4

Can we programmatically go to next step from participant step. I have requirement where the inbox notification is sent programmatically. There when the user selects the complete step then would like the workflow step to invoke next step. The below is the code for sending inbox notification.

InboxNotification inboxNotification = inboxNotificationSender.buildInboxNotification();

inboxNotification.setAssignee(userId);

inboxNotification.setTitle("Approve the content/Asset ");

inboxNotification.setMessage("Approve the content/Asset ");

inboxNotification.setInstructions("testinstruction");

String[] routes = new String[nextSteps.size()];

for(int i = 0; i < nextSteps.size(); i++) {

routes[i] = nextSteps.get(i).getName();

}

inboxNotification.setNotificationActions(routes);

But when i select the action it is not going to the respective workflow step.

So how to navigate to that step when user selects the action.

Hi,

Not sure if you can link inbox task to workflow instance.

When you are sending notification to act? As a part of workflow step or you have other utility which sends notification?

Anyways you can create custom action to achieve this. Customize http://localhost:4502/aem/inbox in vanilla AEM 6.4instance

Hi,

As I understand, you want to go to next step based on what user select from inbox workflow notification item(workitem).

Why don't you use OR Step, which allows user to choose next step.

Or you can design your workflow using Go To and Branch Steps.

Because I believe you are creating notification task, that just act as a notification and complete the task but workitem are different than notification Task.

Thanks
