This answer is really close: [Change process name after start](https://forum.flowable.org/t/change-process-name-after-start/1383/4)

Unfortunately this fails:

`runtimeService.setProcessInstanceName(execution.getProcessInstanceId(), response.name);`

because `response.name = ["name"]` not `"name"`. Can anyone please help?

What does your REST response returns, how does the json look like?  
Also, are you storing the response as a variable?

Thanks for the reply! I discovered the Jackson object mapper:

```
import com.fasterxml.jackson.databind.ObjectMapper;
ObjectMapper mapper = new ObjectMapper();

runtimeService.setProcessInstanceName(execution.getProcessInstanceId(), mapper.writeValueAsString(response.process_name));
```
