How do I create a service account and trigger a Decisions workflow via POST with OAuth?

RichterBell

Hello,

 How do I create a service account in Decisions, and how can I send a POST request (with OAuth authentication) to trigger a process in Decisions? I want to use Decisions as a service with another piece of software. Any guidance would be appreciated.

Hello,

To integrate your system with Decisions using OAuth authentication, follow these steps:

1. Create a Service Account:
   Go to System > Security > Accounts, create a new account, and assign the necessary permissions for integration.
2. Configure as a Named Session (Optional but recommended):
   Set up the service account as a named session for better security and access control. Named Sessions
3. Expose Your Workflow as an API Endpoint:
   Expose the workflow you want to trigger as an API endpoint in Decisions. API and Authentication
4. Set Up OAuth Authentication:
   Configure an OAuth Provider in Decisions and generate an OAuth token for your service account. Establishing an OAuth Provider
5. Send the POST Request:
   Include the OAuth token in the Authorization header (Authorization: Bearer ) and send your POST request to the workflow endpoint. Creating OAuth Tokens
