How to trigger a Process-Chain and get feedback when finished

65 Views

Hi specialists,

I'm looking for a way to kick-off a process-chain programmaticaly - and send the the triggering user (or a user-group) an information that the chain has finished.

What I did yet is scheduling the process-chain based on an event - and triggering the event from a program. That works fine but does not allow me to get any information about the end of the process-chain (the program just gets the information that the event has been triggered - but not if the process-chain triggered by the event has finished yet).

The user who used the process-chain-triggering program should get a feedback as soon as the process-chain has finished. Either by a message in the triggering program or maybe by email.

I know that it is possible to send a message at the end of each process-chain-step.

That would already help me if there wouldn't be a further demand: The same process-chain shall be used time-triggered as well - and this time, the users should not get a message.

So if the process-chain was triggered by time-scheduling --> no message

If the process-chain was triggered by a programm --> message to triggering user or a usergroup.

Do you have any hints how to manage that?
