Currently Workflow has to be started manually. Would like to schedule a Cloudworks task that would initiate a workflow
Agreed! Would be nice to be able to link a "trigger" to start a workflow. For example, if someone run's an action to manually upload a file, it would be nice if the workflow approval process would automatically start without a Workflow admin having to intervene and manually start it. Similarly, would be nice to have any automated API start a workflow.
To add further clarity on request: Allow any Anaplan Action or Process (weather using a button on a page or via any integration, regardless of User access status) to trigger a workflow template automatically without Workflow Admin having to manually trigger. (Model builders would need to build appropriate security around this action using roles).
Hello😊 Just a question: is Workflow nre functionality available with Polaris engine?
Thanks in advance for you help!
We are testing workflow and while it has some great potential, it s showing quickly limits as people today dont want to spend time launching manual workflows as BUA (though the ability to run it manually is required), they need the workflow to start on itself based on an automated trigger
@david.savarin are you saying that currently workiflow luanch is manual Only? I thought it could be triggered by other action/scheduled.
Thanks :)
@FrankPau : if it exists, I couldnt find it !
Agreed - We need to be able to utilize the scheduler in Cloudworks as a trigger, or we need a native scheduler embedded in Workflow like how you can set up a recurring meeting in your email. Without this, there is still value, but it is diminished.
we especially need besides the scheduler to be able to include cloudworks integrations into the workflows
In case anyone finds this thread looking for a way to schedule workflows (like I just did!), the ability to schedule Workflows is available when you start one from a template. The below screenshot is from this blog post. I don't know about event-based or API triggers, but I wonder if including model actions/processes in the setup of a Workflow template would satisfy some of that requirement.
The ability to dynamically initiate a workflow via an API call or from CloudWorks would be a huge enhancement for us! Until this is available, we may have to continue using legacy options.
@dameyer01 : the requirement is to trigger workflow based on a cloudworks action (process, integration, export…) be it scheduled or not.
Workflow feels very disconnected for now
Business Problem & Current Limitation Current State: In our current Polaris implementation, the cumulative dimension index across just five core business dimensions has reached 55. The Constraint: With a hard ceiling at 64, this leaves a headroom of only 9 remaining indexes across the entire workspace/model scope. Direct…
Dear all, Some times your system refuses us to log in. It seems it is because the password is no longer valid and has to be renewed. However absolutely no information is given to the user. Therefore he/she tries to connect again and again, until he/she thinks "oh, that should be the password that has expired". This is…
I've come across this need more than once now so I figured I'd post it here for the Anaplan product team! We have a client who utilizes a primary hierarchy for a core list but developed the need to see the lowest level in that primary hierarchy rolling up to an alternate hierarchy of parent list members. In their Polaris…
