GET Workflow Instances Instance ID

The GET /WorkflowClosed A workflow is a series of steps necessary to complete a process. In the context of Keyfactor Command, it refers to the workflow builder, which allows you automate event-driven tasks when a certificate is requested or revoked./Instances/{instanceId} method is used to retrieve the initiated workflow with the specified instance GUID. Both in progress and completed workflows will be returned. This method returns HTTP 200 OK on a success with details about the workflow instance.

Tip:  The following permissions (see Security Overview) are required to use this feature:

WorkflowInstances: ReadAll OR
WorkflowInstances: ReadAssignedToMe OR
WorkflowInstances: ReadMy

Users with ReadMy or ReadAssignedToMe will only be able to retrieve the workflow instances created by them (ReadMy) or assigned to them (ReadAssignedToMe) unless they also have ReadAll.

Table 658: GET Workflow Instances {instanceId} Input Parameters

Name In Description
instanceId Path

Required. A string indicating the Keyfactor Command reference GUID of the workflow instance to retrieve.

Use the GET /Workflow/Instances method (see GET Workflow Instances) to retrieve a list of all the workflow instances to determine the GUID. Note that the integer workflow IDs (returned with GET /Workflow/Instances/{instanceId} cannot be used with the APIClosed A set of functions to allow creation of applications. Keyfactor offers the Keyfactor API, which allows third-party software to integrate with the advanced certificate enrollment and management features of Keyfactor Command., only the GUID from GET /Workflow/Instances is valid.

Table 659: GET Workflow Instances {instanceId} Response Data

Name Description
Id A string indicating the Keyfactor Command reference GUID of the workflow instance.
Status

A string indicating the current status of the workflow instance. The possible statuses are:

  • CanceledForRestart
  • Complete
  • Failed

  • Rejected

  • Running

  • Suspended

CurrentStepID A string indicating the Keyfactor Command reference GUID of the workflow instance step.
StatusMessage

A string indicating the current status message for the workflow instance. Possible status messages vary and may include:

Signals

An object containing the data used at the point in the workflow step where the workflow needs to continue based on user input. These will vary depending on the type of workflow and the type of step. ClosedShow RequireApproval signal details.

Definition

An array containing the workflow definition. ClosedShow workflow definition details.

CurrentStepDisplayName A string indicating the display name defined for the workflow instance step.
CurrentStepUniqueName A string indicating the unique name defined for the workflow instance step. This value is unique among the steps in a particular workflow definition. It is intended to be used as a user-friendly reference ID.
Title

A string indicating a description for the action taking place in the step, made up of the InitiatingUserName (DOMAIN\\username) followed by an indication of the type of action and a specific message about the action. For example:

Or

"KEYEXAMPLE\\jsmith is revoking certificate with CN=appsrvr12.keyexample.com."
LastModified A string indicating the date and time on which the initiated instance was last updated. The instance is updated each time a step in the workflow is completed, when signals are received for a step that accepts signals (e.g. a requires approval step), or when an instance is stopped or restarted.
StartDate A string indicating the date and time when the instance was initiated.
InitialData

An array containing the data included in the workflow instance when the workflow was initiated. ClosedShow initial workflow instance data.

CurrentStateData

An array containing the data included in the workflow instance as it progresses. This will include data input from PowerShell scripts, REST requests, and signals along with the initial data. ClosedShow current state workflow instance data.

ReferenceId A integer indicating the Keyfactor Command reference ID for the workflow instance.
