Creating task using lotus notes

Raj123

Is it possible to create a approval task in teamsite using an external client such as lotus notes. We maintain our web pages in teamsite, whereas all approval work flow use a notes database. We would like to import file names (images, html ) which is part of a task in the notes database to be created as new task and send for final approval and deployement. That way we can use teamsite to deploy the files instead of us manually selecting the files and submitting for deployement.

Thanks

Interesting... TeamSite has its own workflow engine so I don't believe that you would have the OOTB option of hooking workflow into a Notes database. However, it seems reasonable to have your TeamSite-managed content completely go through Notes as a worfklow engine. Of course, you'd need to code the workflow engine and structure the database as such.

So, if you had an asset that you wanted to ship through a Notes workflow, you might implement a custom menu item that calls Notes to invoke a new job (you may or may not need to use CSSDK for this). In the end, TeamSite has no concept of the item going through a workflow but Notes does.

It seems like quite a bit of work but also seems possible.

I'm not immediately aware of a better way to do this.
