How can I trigger and get output of MIMWAL "Generate Unique Value" activity programatically?

Question

Hello,

We are working on extending our MIM functionality by providing users with probable username options they can use based on their first and last names. As of now, the usernames are generated automatically via the MIMWAL provided "Generate Unique Value" activity and are not visible to the user until their account is provisioned.

Does MIMWAL, or the MIM portal allow some way to trigger and get output of that particular workflow/activity using REST APIs or some other method? Or is there a better way to achieve the same without duplicating the logic given in the workflow?

Thank you,

Hello John Doe,

The short answer is no, MIMWAL (and other MIM Workflow) needs that you submit the request to be trigger.

The long answer is to use another method, and duplicate the algorithm.

Can you give us some context regarding the need to display the account name to the user in MIM? If it for the Manager, you can trigger a notification activity to send a mail to the requestor for example.

BR,

Sylvain
