Example:

Let’s build and execute the “vCardGeneratorDef” example.          

  • Create a new definition called “vCardGeneratorDef” and open the definition in designer mode. 
  • Drag a “vCardGenerator” step to the canvas.
  • Connect the Start and “vCardGenerator” steps, as shown above.
  • Define a variable or a global to store the VCard file path information.
  • Click the “vCardGenerator” step to configure its “Required” properties. Provide the field values as below. Provide a variable or a global to store the VCard file path information. Click the Save button. Note: Click the "AI Predict" button for the Copilot to add new process steps that match your process description. 

 

  • Click the “vCardGenerator” step to configure its “Optional” properties. Provide the values to the “Home Phone, Notes, and Fax” fields. Click the Save button. 

 

  • The “Logging” setting configuration is necessary for documentation and also measures the workflow progress and the percent complete. This is achieved by configuring the step state and percent fields individually, as shown in the images below. Configure the “Logging” using the following properties.

 

  • Save the process definition, create a new instance, and then execute it. Render the process instance. Click the process step to view its properties.  The step should generate the file path info for the vCard file. 

 

  • Concatenate the AppURI and the output file path to download the .vcf file by extension. Open the .vcf file in Outlook and save the vCard generated. A sample vCard is shown below for reference.
