How to retrieve active business process flow on entity in workflow C#?

Hi Partner,

In fact, Business process flow will use separate entities to store its instance records.

When you create one ‘Lead’ record, which also creates record in ‘BPF entity’.

So you need use the RetrieveProcessInstances message (RetrieveActivePath Function or RetrieveProcessInstancesRequest) to retrieve all the business process flow instances for a table row across all business process definitions.

Maybe you can refer to the following blogs, Some of the code can be found in:

I hope you can verify my answer if it helps you! If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me.
