Invoking an API Task in a form provides you with an immediate response after the initial run, ensuring that your processes receive immediate attention.

During the initial run, the API Task or API Tasks within the Process are deployed in the cloud, enabling subsequent requests to be processed without any delay. To ensure optimal performance and scalability, API Tasks are intelligently pre-warmed on a dynamic number of cloud devices, to adapt to your concurrency needs. The diagram below describes the workflow to follow while invoking an API Task within a form.

Note: Pre-warming is a process in which the admin or a team manager adds the API Tasks to the cloud and the API Tasks are pre-deployed in cloud devices. The cloud devices are managed on the Automation Anywhere infrastructure.
