Invoke a custom workflows from embedded canvas app

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by 120

I'm working on moving dialogs to Canvas Apps and flows. Many of the current dialogs invoke custom workflows (C# classes that implement CodeActivity interface).
These custom workflows do complex calculations and perform many side-effects (ie CRUD operations).

Is it possible to invoke custom workflows (or custom Actions as thin wrappers around custom workflows) from embedded Canvas Apps or Flow?
