GET Workflow Instances My

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/My method is used to retrieve the list of initiated workflows created by the user making 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. request—as a result of enrolling for a certificate, for example, or revoking a certificate. This method returns HTTP 200 OK on a success with details about the workflow instances.

Note:  If a workflow instance is initiated for a workflow definition that has more than one step requiring input (signals), a user can only provide that input (e.g. approve or deny a require approval request) at the step in the workflow instance where the workflow instance was suspended pending input. The user cannot jump ahead and provide input for future steps in the workflow that have not yet occurred.

queryString Query

A string containing a query to limit the results (e.g. field1 -eq value1 AND field2 -gt value2). The default is to return all records. Fields available for querying through the API for the most part match those that appear in the Keyfactor Command Management Portal search dropdowns for the same feature. For querying guidelines, refer to the Keyfactor Command Reference Guide: Using the Workflow Instances Search Feature. The query fields supported for this endpoint are:

  • DefinitionId (workflow definition ID)
  • Id (workflow instance GUID)
  • InitiatingUserName (DOMAIN\\username)
  • LastModified
  • ReferenceId (workflow instance integer ID)
  • StartDate
  • Status
  • Title
  • WorkflowType
pageReturned Query An integer that specifies how many multiples of the returnLimit to skip and offset by before returning results, to enable paging. The default is 1.
returnLimit Query An integer that specifies how many results to return per page. The default is 50.
sortField Query A string containing the property by which the results should be sorted. Fields available for sorting through the API for the most part match those that appear as sortable columns in the Keyfactor Command Management Portal. The default sort field is Id.
