SharePoint 2013 Designer Workflow Cannot find Action - Call Http web service

Hi All,
I Do not see the option in the workflow where i can add the action "Call HTTP Webservice.
Am I doing something wrong.
Thanks

Hi Nick,
Is only this action "Call HTTP Webservice" missing from SharePoint 2013 workflow?
If other actions are also missing, you can reinstall and reconfigure workflow for SharePoint 2013.
Please double check and make sure you create the SharePoint 2013 workflow platform .

Calling (HTTPS web service) in sharepoint 2013 workflow (SPD)

I am using SharePoint 2013. I have created a list workflow in SharePoint Designer. I know there is an action "Call HTTP Web Service". Is it possible to access some webservice with authentication (username and password)?

http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/office/dn567558%28v=office.15%29.aspx
the OData formats support communication with anonymous web services as well as with those protected by various types of authentication. In short, you have full control over the request and response for each service call. This allows you to use a series of
activities within a workflow to first authenticate using one service and obtain an OAuth token, and then include that token in future requests to services secured using the
OAuth 2.0 protocol.

Update Column value after current item is Approved and then publish major version using Sharepoint 2013 designer workflow

Hi,
We have a requirement to update a column value once the item has been approved.
Following settings have been made in the publishing articles list:
Require content approval for submitted items : yes
Create major and minor (draft) versions
Who should see draft items in this document library? :Only users who can edit items
Require documents to be checked out before they can be edited? : yes
I have createdatu a Sharepoint 2013 workflow to check if Approval sts of current item = 0 i.e. Approved , then check out and update the item and finally checkin the item. Everything works fine till this point except that the minor version of the item is
checked in. Due to this the updated columns are not published to others.
Also, I created a Sharepoint 2010 workflow to SET CONTENT APPROVAL = APPROVED and started this workflow from my list workflow above, but the item does not get checked-in and always shows "In Progress" status with comment "The item is currently
locked for editing. Waiting for item to be checked in or for the lock to be released.".
Please let me know where I am missing out so that once the item is approved, column value gets updated and current item is still in Approved status.
Thanks

Hi,
According to your post, my understanding is that you want to update Column value after current item is Approved and then publish major version using Sharepoint 2013 designer workflow.
You will get into this kind of Catch-22 situation trying to set the Content Approval Status in SharePoint Designer workflow:
- You must check out the document before you can change the Content Approval Status
- You can't change the Content Approval Status once the document in checked out
Since you set the Require documents to be checked out before they can be edited=Yes, you will need to check out the document when run the workflow on the item. But you cannot approve a document when it is checked
out. So the logic in workflow conflicts.
As a workaround, you can use the Start Another Workflow action to start the normal Approval workflow on the document. The built-in Approval workflow can work with a document that’s not checked out.
The designer approval workflow also can work with a document that’s not checked out.
You can create two workflow using SharePoint Designer 2013.
First, create a SharePoint 2010 platform workflow.
Then, create a SharePoint 2013 platform workflow.
Then when the SharePoint 2013 platform workflow start, it will start the SharePoint 2010 platform workflow to set content approval status, then the SharePoint 2013 platform workflow will update current item value.

Sharepoint 2013 designer workflow custom sendemail activity

Does anybody know sharepoint 2013 designer workflow custom sendemail activity. Current OOB sendemail action from designer workflow cancels the entire workflow when sendemail fails.
MCTS Sharepoint 2010, MCAD dotnet, MCPDEA, SharePoint Lead

Hi Amit,
What error did you meet when you used the OOB ‘Send Email’ action?
I suggest you fix the error rather than creating a new workflow ‘Send Email’ activity.
Of course, you can also customize a workflow activity to send email, there are two acticles about creating a custom workflow activity for your reference:

Issue in sharepoint 2013 designer workflow kickoff

We are facing issues in sharepoint 2013 designer workflow kickoff. When we kick off custom designer workflow using AD user with contribute/approve access, sendemail from task does not send an email. When we kickoff using administrator account task in
the designer workflow sends an email. There seems to be multiple issues with kickoff. and it even does not give any error task gets created but send email does not work.
Another issue in another approach-
We are also not able to kickoff using one AD account which we are not login in everyday. If we kickoff using this account after 2/3 days kickoff says invalid state of object for that user. Once we login manually with that admin workflow kick off account
again kick off starts. We do not want to let current user kickoff the workflow.
In both cases we are using new AD import in sp2013 and sync is done every 5 minutes.

May be a permission issue, see whether the contributor has enough permission to participate in the workflow.
Also try to set Design permission to test and see whether that works.
Hope this helps!

Sharepoint 2013 designer workflow auto approve task after due date is passed

sharepoint 2013 designer workflow auto approve task after due date is passed.
Could we approve the task automatically once due date is apssed?
MCTS Sharepoint 2010, MCAD dotnet, MCPDEA, SharePoint Lead

Hi Amit,
If your task is created by a workflow (first) and stored in a separate task list, you can create another workflow on this particular task list, then each workflow instance would check if current task is expired (not approved/rejected), then
determine if update current task's "Task Outcome" as approved (and update task status as complete), and then create a retention policy on this paricular task list to trigger the workflow on due date .

How to view and restore sharepoint 2013 designer workflows and how to redeploy with newer version to environments

how to view and restore sharepoint 2013 designer workflows and how to redeploy with newer version to environments
MCTS Sharepoint 2010, MCAD dotnet, MCPDEA, SharePoint Lead

Hi,
In SharePoint Designer 2010, we could not save the workflow as a template directly except the reusable workflow.
However, in SharePoint Designer 2013, we can just save all the types workflow as a template, then you can import the workflow into the new environment.
http://blogs.msdn.com/b/workflows_for_product_catalogs/archive/2012/11/02/deploying-a-workflow-on-a-different-server.aspx
In SharePoint Designer 2013, every time we publish the workflow, we would get a newer version workflow, and the old workflow version would be overwritten.
So, when you deploy the workflow in the environment, the workflow would the newer version.

Hi Amit,
Based on the error message, I recommend to check if the user with issue has user profile generated in User Profile Service Application.

How to call HTTP web services in an Interactive Form?

Hi all,
I am using Adobe Livecycle Designer currently in a trial 8.2 version.
I need to invoke an HTTP Web Service (non-SOAP) in an Adobe Interactive Form. The Net.HTTP method does not work due to security reasons. The error message I get is:
(german)
" NotAllowedError: Sicherheitseinstellungen verhindern den Zugriff auf diese Eigenschaft oder Methode.
Net.HTTP.request:28:XFA:form1[0]:mysubform[0]:Region[0]:change"
In english this translates to: "Security settings prohibit the call of this property or method.
And indeed the "Javascript for Acrobat API reference" includes the following note:
"Note:This method can only be made outside the context of a document (for example, in a folder level JavaScript)."
So this method seems to be excluded from use in an Adobe document, e. g. in an interactive form. But why is it then listed at all? Is there a way to call HTTP Web Services in an Adobe Interactive Form by somehow branching out the call outside the document itself? Of course I do not want to call a SOAP service which then calls the HTTP Web Service ;-)
Is there any other way to invoke HTTP Web Services in an Adobe Interactive Form?
Thanks a lot for your response!
Regards
Christoph

Hello Kavita,
patterns are not processed during editing. If you can't use the default behavior of the numeric field when a character is entered (handled when the user finished editing), you could use scripting to process input. Depending on what you want to do you could use the exit event or the change event.
A change event has a property called "change" that caused the event. You could try "xfa.host.messageBox( upper(event.change) )" in FormCalc to show the characters in upper case.
But, you should go this way only if the patterns for editing and for display and validation scripts can't be used in your case.
Best regards
Juergen

Call HTTP web service action not allowing HTTPS in SharePoint Designer 2013.

HTTP works perfectly in browser and in workflow.
HTTPS works perfectly in browser and hangs in workflow.
Others having this issue have been advised to use OAuth2. OAuth2 is not an option without HTTPS, you're passing authorization tokens around in plaintext. This is not an acceptable solution.
Please advise.

It says HTTPS web services will have an Issue with the SharePoint Designer.
Thanks, Parth

Update Managed Metadata field in SharePoint 2013 Designer Workflow for O365

Hi Guys,
I need to update the managed metadata field in SharePoint Custom List using Workflow but its not working. I have also tried to use the HTTP WebService POST Operation but no luck.
Am doing this for a SharePoint Online (O365) Site.
Has anyone worked on something similar and was able to get it running ?
I saw a post to create a custom Workflow Activity but I don't have a choice to go with the custom code option.
http://patrickboom.wordpress.com/2013/07/23/workflow-activity-set-managed-metadata-column/
I was able to achieve this by creating a SP 2010 based Workflow for O365. Which means that it worked well with SP 2010.
Is there a different way to do it in 2013 ? I tried almost all options apart from creating custom Activity but nothing worked out.
Any help would be great.
Thanks,
Nutan
Nutan Sharma

Hi Nutan,
According to your description, my understanding is that you want to update Managed Metadata field with SharePoint 2013 Designer for SharePoint Online.
As far as I know, there is not an OOB action to achieve your requirement with SharePoint 2013 Designer for SharePoint 2013. Customizing a workflow action is a better option to achieve it. Why didn’t you customize a workflow action as Patrick’s blog?
In addition, please take a look at the article about Nintex workflow, check whether it is useful for you:
http://habaneroconsulting.com/insights/setting-managed-metadata-fields-in-a-nintex-workflow#.UykBSf6KDHo
As this issue is about SharePoint Online, I suggest you create a new thread on SharePoint Online forum:
http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/home?forum=onlineservicessharepoint . More experts will assist you.
I hope this helps.

Call HTTP Web Service Retries Every 1 Minute

I currently have a SharePoint 2013 workflow setup. This workflow calls an HTTP Web Service using the HTTP Get Method. The web service takes over a minute to execute what it needs to and respond. The workflow retries calling the web service every 1 minute
if it doesn't get a response back. This is causing issues as the process is already running and doesn't need to be run again. Is there some setting or response/request header value that I can set to prevent the workflow from retrying the web service call every
minute?
Thank You,
Jon

Hi,
As per your posting, I believe there is no direct approach in the workflow to check the web service status for every call.
Let me try to work on that and try to give you the appropriate solution.

Are you expecting us to guess at the message you received when you got the 28868?
I guess: "the wallet is closed."
If I guessed correctly then open it.
ALTER SYSTEM SET ENCRYPTION WALLET OPEN IDENTIFIED BY "<your_wallet_password_here>";If I didn't guess correctly then you need to provide all of the information you neglected in your original post.
Start with the version number.
