FormAPI invoking a workflow

We are able to use FormAPI to invoke a workflow which first task as a CGI task and immediate="t". If this workflow is invoked from TS GUI, the workflow would get executed immediately; however, if we use FormAPI to invoke the same workflow, the workflow stays in the ToDo list instead.

Do we need to invoke the CGI task using FormAPI after we have invoke the workflow? How can we activate a CGI task for a activated workflow using FormAPI?

I'm not sure what the answer is - but I do have at least one question... why are you invoking a workflow from FormAPI?

That was a typo. It should be OpenAPI.

We are creating our Website as a portal to allow users to update content without using TeamSite GUI. We want to create our own links to invoke a workflow for file deployment.

I don't think I can use CCI to invoke a workflow, right?

If you're creating a portal site - you might want to look into either TeamPortal and/or Content Servicecs SDK - I believe they provide a means of initiating workflows from websites (I haven't been directly involved with either, so I cannot provide details of implementation)

I read the documentation on that and I would avoid it because of limitations such as one workarea per user, plus the additional configuration burden.
