Invoking an API Task in a process provides the flexibility to execute API Tasks in the background, allowing your processes to continue without interruption.

This approach is particularly useful for tasks that can take longer to complete, as it ensures that your overall workflow remains efficient. The diagram below describes the workflow to follow to build a process that invokes an API Task.

Note: To enable on-demand API Task deployment within a process, generate a Registration Key in Administration > Settings > Bot agent bulk install > Generate a new key and click Save Changes.

API Task in process

On-Demand Execution: Effortless automation within processes

  • Ideal for Processes: When tasks can run asynchronously, aligning with longer workflows.
  • Key Features:
    • Intelligent queuing for excess requests, ensuring execution as devices become available.
    • Concurrency limits for resource optimization.
    • Extended 15-minute execution window for more complex tasks.
