Email based approval as a part of Workflow step

Hi all.

 

One of the steps in a workflow is an approval and that approval link was shared to the end user by email.

After he approves/disapproves in the email, how to get the result back into AEM, and specific to the work item in question?

Email based approval as a part of Workflow step.

 

Appreciate all your replies.

 

Thanks,

RK.

    ​@nsvsrk - If your workflow step approval/rejection is happeing outside of AEM, you can probably use “WorkflowExternalProcess”. Based on approval/rejection, your workflow can proceed further.
