Hi,
Can we start a workflow in alfresco remotely using an API either RESTFUL or CMIS.
I want to start a workflow by sending all the required parameters using the API. Kindly help.
If you are using Alfresco Activiti then please have look at https://docs.alfresco.com/activiti/docs/dev-guide/1.2.2/#_rest_api .
If you are using inbuilt alfresco activiti , you may have to create your own web-script ( Javascript or Java-Backed) to start workflow at alfresco end and from your remote application just call this web-script.
Just to add to response, there is no way to start workflows using CMIS.
CMIS is only intended to deal with documents and folders.
