The following are the top common use-cases for the Pipeline API along sample GraphQL queries, mutations, and JSON responses.

Build out these common use-cases, and you'll have a great foundation for your integration.

Searching and filtering for Asks

Note, in the API, a request is the same as an Ask and a process is the same as a Flow.

The most common use-case is searching and filtering for Asks, and for this use-case, use the  getRequestsSearch query. The filter arguments are:

  • searchTerm keyword, phrase (in quotes, ex: "project management"), or negative keyword (ex: -project)
    • searches Ask name, Ask ID, notes and hashtags
  • masterProcessCodes comma-delimited list of unique master flow ID(s)—flow version 1
    • A master flow ID will return results for ALL versions of the same flow, ex: ABC flow, ALL versions
  • processCodes comma-delimited list of unique flow ID(s), ex: ABC flow version 6
  • processOwnerContactCodes comma-delimited list of unique contact ID(s) who own the flow
  • processOwnerContactPoolCodes comma-delimited list of unique team ID(s) who own the flow
  • requestCodes comma-delimited list of unique Ask ID(s)
  • requesterContactCodes comma-delimited list of unique contact ID(s) who submitted Ask(s)
  • requestStatusNames comma-delimited list of request statuses: Open, Completed, Canceled
  • requestDateClosedFrom start date range for when the Ask is closed, format: MM/DD/YYYY hh:mm am/pm, ex: 12/31/2025 11:59 pm
  • requestDateClosedTo end date range for when the Ask is closed, format: MM/DD/YYYY hh:mm am/pm, ex: 12/31/2025 11:59 pm
  • requestDateSubmittedFrom start date range for when the Ask is submitted, format: MM/DD/YYYY hh:mm am/pm, ex: 12/31/2025 11:59 pm
  • requestDateSubmittedTo end date range for when the Ask is submitted, format: MM/DD/YYYY hh:mm am/pm, ex: 12/31/2025 11:59 pm
  • stepOwnerContactCodes comma-delimited list of unique contact ID(s) who own the CURRENT step
  • stepOwnerContactPoolCodes comma-delimited list of unique team ID(s) who own the CURRENT step

If no filter parameters are provided, the result will return ALL Asks based on the user's OAuth token, corresponding to the All tab.

You can page through the results using the following arguments:

  • page
  • pageSize max 20
  • sortBy valid arguments: currentStepprocessNameprogressrequestCloseDateStamprequestName
  • sortDir direction: asc, desc

Specifically, the search will only return Asks that meets at least one of the following conditions:

  • Asks that the user submitted
  • Asks that has the user as a step owner in any step
  • Asks that has the user's team member as the current step owner, corresponding to For My Team tab
  • Asks that has the user's team as the current step owner, corresponding to Unassigned tab
  • Asks from flows that the user or the user's team owns
  • Asks that the user is following

Note, results are sorted by last updated date and are limited to a max of 20 results per page.

Sample GraphQL query for getRequests to return an array of SearchPageResultType with just requestCode.

{
    "operationName": "GetRequestsSearchQuery",
    "query": "query getRequestsSearch($requestCodes: String, 
				$processCodes: String, 
				$masterProcessCodes: String,

				$requestStatusNames: String,
				$requestDateSubmittedFrom: String,
				$requestDateSubmittedTo: String,
				$page: Int,
				$pageSize: Int) { 
		getRequestsSearch(requestCodes: $requestCodes, 
				processCodes: $processCodes,

				requestDateSubmittedTo: $requestDateSubmittedTo,
				page: $page,
				pageSize: $pageSize) {
	    __typename
	    page
	    pageSize
	    totalCount
	    requests {
	        requestCode
	    }
    	}
    }",
    "variables": {

{

            "requests": [
                {
                    "requestCode": "GFK3ARE861"
                }
            ]
        }
    }
}

If you want to receive a more complete object, we recommend you use the RequestFragment.

{
    "operationName": "GetRequestsQuery",
    "query": "query getRequestsSearch($requestCodes: String,

            "pageSize": 20,
            "totalCount": 1,       
		"requests": [
		    {
			"requestCode": "GFK3ARE861",
			"requestName": "test ask",
			"requestRecurrenceId": 0,
			"requestStatusName": "Open",
			"totalSteps": 3,
			"totalTodoSteps": 3,
			"completedStepCount": 0,
			"isDelayed": false,

			    "isTrash": false
			}
		    }
		]	    
	}
    }
}

Note the following key fields for this Ask:

  • processCode code of the Flow that serves as the blueprint for this Ask 
  • requestDateStamp UNIX epoch of when this Ask was submitted
  • requestStatusName status of this Ask; possible values: Open, Completed, Canceled
  • totalSteps total number of steps for this Ask
  • totalToDoSteps total number of Open steps for this Ask

Since the API is a GraphQL API, you can choose which fields you want to return. However, when using the search query, do not return deeply nested fields, due to performance reasons. Per GraphQL best practices, select only fields that you need.

Retrieve a specific Ask

After searching for Asks, you can retrieve an Ask by using the  getRequest query based on requestCode.

Sample GraphQL query for getRequest to return the RequestType using the recommended RequestFragment. This is equivalent to viewing an Ask with all the steps collapsed.

    "operationName": "GetRequestQuery",
    "query": "query getRequest($requestCode: String!,

Create an Ask

To create an Ask, use the createRequest mutation based on:

  • processCode unique ID of the flow
  • contactEmail email of the contact. Note, the email must be a valid, non-disposable email. Fake emails will not pass validation and result in a error.

Sample GraphQL query for createRequest to return the RequestType using the recommended RequestFragment.

Reassign a step

To reassign an Open step, use the reassignStep mutation based on:

  • requestCode unique ID of the Ask
  • stepCode unique ID of the step
  • reassignTo either an email address or unique ID of the team
  • isReassignAllTeamSteps whether to reassign all other Open and unassigned step(s) owned by same the team to the specified user or team; corresponds to Assign All Teams to Me function

Sample GraphQL mutation for reassignStep to return the RequestStepType using the recommended RequestStepFragment
