Is it possible to generate a flowable process using Flowable APIs? My use case involves asking the business user questions around how many approval steps, assignee etc and then I need to generate the process with the Human task. The motivation being that my users are not BPMN savvy.
Hi Srallapally.
Yes, there are plenty of possibilities:
DynamicBpmnServicegenerate BPMN on the fly and deploy it afterwards
Multiinstance - I think that’s the approach, which you should take.

doesn’t have any method to create a Process Definition. What am I missing?

public interface DynamicBpmnService {
void injectUserTaskInProcessInstance(String processInstanceId, DynamicUserTaskBuilder dynamicUserTaskBuilder);
void injectParallelUserTask(String taskId, DynamicUserTaskBuilder dynamicUserTaskBuilder);
void injectEmbeddedSubProcessInProcessInstance(String processInstanceId, DynamicEmbeddedSubProcessBuilder dynamicEmbeddedSubProcessBuilder);
void injectParallelEmbeddedSubProcess(String taskId, DynamicEmbeddedSubProcessBuilder dynamicEmbeddedSubProcessBuilder);
ObjectNode getProcessDefinitionInfo(String processDefinitionId);
void saveProcessDefinitionInfo(String processDefinitionId, ObjectNode infoNode);
adds ne user task to the currently running process instance.DynamicActivitiProcessTest is the second option:
Is my favorite.
