RESTful exposure of objects?

bclayton1896 — Wed, 14 Oct 2020 03:05:00 GMT

I know BP processes and objects can only be exposed via SOAP calls, but outside of writing a external REST-to-SOAP webservice to call the BP resources is there another route to achieve this?

I'm trying to get MS Teams to "@mention" a process that will return a queue depth, but Teams only works with REST APIs, or so I've found on research.

@Brian Clayton,

The only way you're going to be able to call into Blue Prism via a REST interface will be with a REST-to-SOAP gateway in the mix. There are lots of options in this area.

Alternatively, Microsoft has a REST interface called Graph. This is their super REST API that supports multiple applications including Teams. You could build a process that polls Teams Channels, using Graph, looking for the specific mentions and then puts the request on a work queue. Then another process can handle executing the processes from the work queue.

It's not a great solution, but if you can't leverage a gateway it's probably the only other option.

Cheers,
