FAQPage Schema

How does workflow orchestration work in the Kinetic Platform?▼

Workflow orchestration in the Kinetic Platform operates through trees, nodes, and connectors that visually map processes. The execution model drives runs and tasks sequentially or in parallel, managing deferrals to automate complex business logic end-to-end.

How do I trigger a workflow using a webhook?▼

You can trigger a workflow by sending an HTTP request to a webhook URL configured on the Kinetic Platform. This initiates a run within the workflow engine, passing the payload data to the starting node for task processing.

Can I programmatically create and manage workflows via an API?▼

Yes, you can programmatically create and manage workflows using the Task API v2 and the Core API. These APIs allow you to define handler structures, configure sources, and control runs and tasks for integration with external systems.

What is the execution model for deferred tasks in a workflow engine?▼

The workflow execution model handles deferred tasks by pausing a run until a specific condition or external event is met. Once resolved, the engine resumes the workflow, allowing asynchronous business processes to continue automatically.

Does the Kinetic Platform workflow engine support building custom user interfaces for tasks?▼

Yes, the workflow engine provides insights into observed API response formats and best practices for building workflow UIs. This allows developers to create custom interfaces that interact directly with task data and execution states.
