Handling Form Response in the Same Worflow

[GreeneT (Travis Greene)]

I am creating a workflow for my client that would like to send a form to the non-employee manager to make some decisions on revalidating a contractor. This revalidation process will allow them to essentially extend the contractors End Date until the next review in 6 months. In this form I am looking to have options for a manager to be able to extend a contractors End Date, Terminate Contractor, or be able to update the contractor’s manager.

Once the form is submitted, is it possible to handle the response in the same workflow that launched the form? Or do I need to create a second workflow with the form submitted trigger?

Yes, you can use the same workflow to handle the form response. The formData JSON will provide you the output of Form action once form is submitted.

Thanks Sharvari for the response. I originally thought it was not possible because I saw Form submitted as a trigger.

So, would the only way to update a user’s EndDate based on the form response from the form by an HTTP Action calling the IDN API in the workflow? I don’t see really any other way of doing this from the workflow.

Yes, you are right. Workflows cannot update attributes directly so we need to use HTTP Request to call the API that can make the update…
