Hi,

you can do this by using the POST request URL to start process that can be retrieved on the process overview. I have just implemented the same scenario recently. It will look something like this:

https://domain/jw/web/json/workflow/process/start/FlickElectric:20:PauseOrResumeNotification?var_mode=pause&var_notification_id=134399xyz

The last two components are the workflow variables that can be used in the process without the request hash variable.

hope this helps.

More information can be found on the JSON API knowledge page.

Hi Eric, I need to use the "Link To Run Process" to start this process because I need to take the user directly into the first form by going to this link from their browser. I believe the process you suggests does start the process with the workflow variables but it cannot start the user at the first form the way the "Link To Run Process" does. And the "Link To Run Process" does not seem to accept the var_variable syntax.

So you want that a user clicks on a link that includes some parameters, then have a tool process these parameters in some form and then immediately display a form to the user which has some content based on the processed variables, correct?

Correct!

I am fairly sure I did that somewhere before... have you tried passing the variables without var_ with the "run link to start process"? So for example attaching "&status=resume"?

Yes, but I cannot access the request parameter variables using #requestParam.status# from within the tool. The only thing that seems to work is to capture them in a hidden field mapped to a workflow variable in a form assigned to Run Process. But the form then must display and be submitted. I want to go straight to a form after the tool has retrieved values based upon the request parameter variable.
