Process Trigger Automation

Type: ProcessTriggerAction

Automatically triggers a new instance of a target process, passing data from the current process.

Properties

• Target Process Name: Name of the process to trigger

• Source Field Names: Fields from current process to map

• Target Field Names: Fields in target process start step to receive values

Configuration

Target Process Name

• Name identifier of the process to be automatically triggered

• Must reference an existing process in the system

• The target process will be instantiated when this action executes

Source Field Names

Ordered list of field names from the current process.

• Each field name must exist in the current process

• Order corresponds to target field names

• Repetition allowed (same source field can map to multiple targets)

Target Field Names

Ordered list of field names in the target process's start step.

• Each field name must exist in the target process's start step

• Order corresponds to source field names

• Array length must equal source field names length

Validation

• Source and target field lists must have equal length

• Target process must exist in the system

• Referenced fields must exist in respective processes

• Field mapping is positional (index 0 → index 0, etc.)

Runtime Behavior

• Creates a new instance of the target process

• Maps values from source fields to target process start step fields

• Target process begins execution from its start step

Limitations

• Currently only supports mapping to the target process's start step

• Cannot map to fields in later steps of the target process

Use Cases

• Process chaining and workflows

• Parent-child process relationships

• Cascading approvals

• Multi-stage workflows

• Data handoff between processes

• Automated sub-process creation
