How to populate a BP variable using REST?

Question

Bitrix24

Is there a REST method that can populate a BP related variable? If there is, what is it called, and if not, what is the best way to do it?

Answer 1

here is an example of how I interacted with a business process from a script and passed the deal ID through bizproc.workflow.start ,

$queryUrl = 'https://'.SITENAME.'/rest/1/'.WEB_HOOK.'/bizproc.workflow.start';
      $queryData = http_build_query(
        array(
          'TEMPLATE_ID'=>$businessProccessID_deals,
          'DOCUMENT_ID'=>array("crm","CCrmDocumentDeal",$DEAL_ID),
        )
       );

Answer 2

No, there is no such REST method.
For the boxed version of Bitrix24, you can write your own BP action or extend REST methods
. What options are there in the cloud Bitrix24?
- Through its business process action.
Make your action BP, in which to return the necessary information in it.
This information is stored in a variable.
- If the BP is running on an entity
(Not recommended) change the value of the entity directly
- If the BP uses a universal list
You can change the values ​​of the universal list. For example, 1 instance of a BP on a deal creates 1 record in the CA and works with it.
As you understand, the most preferred option is to write your own BP action (you need to create a local application) and store the return value in a variable.
