Hi Anil–
Thank you for taking the time to answer my questions! I’m a beginner, so appreciate the detailed explanations!

So let me see if I understand:

Process 1:

  1. User launches
  2. User fills out form and submits
  3. Task is added to Action Center.
  4. TaskID is added to queue
  5. end process

Process 2:

  1. Triggered upon addition of TaskID record to queue?
  2. Job checks task ID to see if completed
  3. If no – pause and wait.
  4. If yes – fetch task details
  5. Send email to OP with results
  6. Remove task from queue
  7. end process

Do I have this right? So this leads to me to a question about #5 in Process 2. Is there a way to add not only the TaskID to the Queue, but also the name or “release key” of the job that I want to run on completion of the task? In other words, is there a way to set this up so the queue-checking job will not only get all the task details on completion, but then run a named job to handle it?

If so, that would be a flexible way to handle different sorts of actions. Is this possible?

Or maybe I’m over engineering this? Is there a way to attach code (or to run a job) to a submit button in Action Center form? If so, maybe I just need to figure out how to do that.
