Execute a subtask

Use a PUT method to execute a subtask. Executing a subtask basically means changing its state to completed and providing an executedBy value.

  • URL
    /API/bpm/manualTask/:manualTaskId

  • Method
    PUT

  • Request Payload

    {
      "state":"completed",
      "executedBy":"1"
    }
  • Success Response

    • Code: 200

Retrieve a subtask

Use a GET method to retrieve information about a subtask.

  • URL
    /API/bpm/manualTask/:manualTaskId

  • Method
    GET

  • Success Response

    • Code: 200

Search subtasks

Use a GET method with filters and search terms to search for subtasks.

  • URL
    /API/bpm/manualTask

  • Method
    GET

  • Data Params
    Standard search parameters are available.
    You can filter on:

    • assigned_id={user_id}: retrieve only the manual tasks assigned to the specified user. For example, retrieve the manual tasks assigned to user with id 1: /API/bpm/manualTask?p=0&c=10&f=assigned_id%3d1.

    • state=skipped | ready | completed | failed : retrieve only the manual tasks with the specified state. For example, retrieve the ready tasks: /API/bpm/manualTask?p=0&c=10&f=state%3dready.

    • caseId={case_id}: retrieve only the manual tasks created in the specified case. For example, retrieve the manual tasks for the case_id 2: /API/bpm/manualTask?p=0&c=10&f=caseId%3d2.

    • parentTaskId={parentTask_id}: retrieve only the manual tasks for a specific parentTask. For example, retrieve the manual tasks for the parentTask_id 40001: /API/bpm/manualTask?p=0&c=10&f=parentTaskId%3d40001.

    You can search on:

    • name: search all manual tasks with a name that starts with the search string. For example, search for all manual tasks that have a name that starts with MySubTask: /API/bpm/manualTask?p=0&c=10&s=MySubTask.

  • Success Response
    An array of manualTask objects
