Hi Fynn,

Action flows are not possible from Analysis, only from views are possible, so try to create a view. Also check celonis marketplace for apps which have action flows.

Thanks

Hi Fynn,

Actually it is possible to trigger Action flow from analysis. However it's rather complicated.

In analysis instead of triggering AF you can trigger ML workbench Python Script. That script can trigger skill or action flow using so called "Web hooks".

Web hooks documentation for triggering skills: https://docs.celonis.com/en/webhook-catch-hook.html#UUID-01aa2a2e-d2f2-4b06-888b-e4492e5d42b6_id_WebhookCatchHook-WebhookCatchHook

Web hooks documentation for triggering AFs: https://docs.celonis.com/en/trigger-an-action-flow-from-ml-workbench.html

However with that there's specific problem: you can just trigger, and not send eny data (f.e. selected rows or filters). Business Views are offering much more possibilities to trigger and transfer data to skills which can trigger action flows.

According to Celosphere Celonis is working on replacing skills with action flows in future, however there's no roadmap or specific dates for that.

Well, you can in a fast and dirty way without ML

You start the AF with a Webhook.

Create a button component in the analysis

Select "Open external link"

Put the Webhook URL there.

Done.

Of course, you can do the same with a skill starting with manual sensor and then a Execute Action flow

You put the url of the skill in the button

With skills you can pass info (in theory, I haven't tested)

In both ways a new tab is opened in your browser, it can be a bit confusing for an end-user

Hi Muthappan,

Can you share how this can be triggered from Views?
