Use Scripts in the following ways: - Interact with legacy systems in your organization such as ERPs and CRMs. - Connect with third-party services like Adobe DocuSign, Amazon Textract, and APIs as well as Robotic Process Automations (RPAs) like UiPath. Scripts are designed in [Script Editor](/v1/docs/script-editor). Scripts are independent of Process models: any Script can be reused in any Process model in your organization. This architecture allows Process Owners to focus on Process modeling in a no-code environment while ProcessMaker Developers develop reusable Scripts. Scripts can leverage Screens variable values for in-progress Requests. --- ## Add a Script Task to the Process Model **Permissions** Your user account or group membership must have the following permissions to configure a Script Task object in the Process model unless your user account has the **Make this user a Super Admin** setting selected: - Processes: Edit Processes - Processes: View Processes See the [Process](/v1/docs/permission-descriptions-for-users-and-groups#processes) permissions or ask your Administrator for assistance. Add a Script Task object from one of the following locations in Process Modeler: - **Object Panel:** Located to the left of the Process Modeler, the Object Panel contains various process modeling objects. - **Object Bar:** Located at the bottom of the Process Modeler, the Object Bar contains [pinned](/v1/docs/process-modeler#pin-and-unpin-objects) Process modeling objects for quick access. Add from the Object panelAdd from the Object bar Follow these steps to add a Script Task from the Object panel to the Process model: 1. Ensure that the Object panel is visible. If not, click the **Add** icon ![](https://cdn.document360.io/2d311614-fcb7-4424-8b4c-d4d3091eebeb/Images/Documentation/1e23ee40-8601-4faf-be10-c506a9e4d827.png) from the Object bar at the bottom. 2.

Process Modeler automatically assigns the name of a Process object with its object type. However, an object's name can be changed. Follow these steps to edit the name for a Script Task object: 1. Select the Script Task object from the Process model in which to edit its name. 2. Ensure that the **Configuration** panel displays. If not, [show it](/v1/docs/show-configuration-settings-for-a-process-model-object). The **Name** setting displays. This is a required setting. ![](https://cdn.document360.io/2d311614-fcb7-4424-8b4c-d4d3091eebeb/Images/Documentation/238f1cfe-295e-4ace-8663-6f74f134ca4d.png) 3. In the **Name** setting, edit the selected object's name and then press **Enter**. #### Select the Script to Run Since Script Task objects are designed to run a [Script](/designer-advanced/what-is-a-script), specify which Script a selected Script Task object uses. A Script must already exist before it can be selected for use in a Script Task object. > [!NOTE] > See the following topics for more information: > > - [What is a Script?](/designer-advanced/what-is-a-script) > - [Script Editor](/v1/docs/script-editor) > [!WARNING] > Ensure to select a Script for each Script Task object in your Process model. If a Script is not specified and Requests are started for that Process, a placeholder Script displays when that Script Task object triggers. > > The placeholder Script allows the Request without causing it to pause indefinitely. > > This functionality also allows Process Designers to place the basic Process objects into a Process model and then evaluate it during development. Follow these steps to select a Script for a Script Task object: 1. Select the Script Task object from the Process model in which to specify its Script. 2. Ensure that the **Configuration** panel displays. If not, [show it](/v1/docs/show-configuration-settings-for-a-process-model-object). Panels to configure this object display. 3. Expand the **Configuration** panel if it is not presently expanded, and then locate the **Script** setting. ![](https://cdn.document360.io/2d311614-fcb7-4424-8b4c-d4d3091eebeb/Images/Documentation/b77cdfff-915d-46da-930a-3ed75e3c8232.png) 4. Do one of the following: - From the **Script** drop-down menu, select which Script that Script Task object references. After a Script is selected, the **Open Script** link displays. - Click the **Create a new script** link. A new browser window opens to [create a new Script](/v1/docs/create-a-new-script). After creating the Script, the **Script** drop-down menu automatically populates with the created Script. Otherwise, be sure to select the new Script in the **Script** drop-down menu. 5. Optionally, click the **Open Script** link to view and/or edit your Script. Note that your user account must have appropriate [Script category](/v1/docs/permission-descriptions-for-users-and-groups#scripts) permissions or be a [Project](/v1/docs/projects) member in which this Script is an asset. If no Scripts exist, the **Script** drop-down menu contains no options. Ensure to select and configure a Script for every Script Task object in the Process model before deploying your Process. #### Configure the Selected Script After [selecting the Script for the Script Task](/v1/docs/script-task#select-the-processmaker-script-for-a-script-task-element) object, optionally provide a JSON object that configures variable values for the selected Script. Providing a JSON script from the Script Task is identical to providing JSON configuration script in the **Script Config JSON** panel in Scripts Editor for a Script. > [!NOTE] > See the following topics for more information: > > - [What is a Script?](/designer-advanced/what-is-a-script) > - [Script Editor](/v1/docs/script-editor), including the [Reference a Request Variable from a Script Configuration Setting](/v1/docs/script-editor#reference-a-request-variable-from-a-script-configuration-setting) section > - [Example Script Executor Use Case](/v1/docs/example-script-executor-migrates-records-from-microsoft-excel-to-a-collection), specifically the [Import the Process](/v1/docs/example-script-executor-migrates-records-from-microsoft-excel-to-a-collection#import-the-process) section how a JSON object is used to configure a Script for a Script Task object If a JSON script exists in the Script Task object, that script is used for the Script. An existing JSON configuration script displays in the **Script Configuration** option for a selected Script Task object. > [!WARNING] > The JSON script in the Script Task object overrides any JSON script entered in the **Script Config JSON** panel in Scripts Editor for the associated Script. Follow these steps to enter or edit a JSON configuration script for a Script Task object: 1. Select the Script Task object from the Process model in which to specify its Script. 2. Ensure that the **Configuration** panel displays. If not, [show it](/v1/docs/show-configuration-settings-for-a-process-model-object). Panels to configure this object display. 3. Expand the **Configuration** panel if it is not presently expanded, and then locate the **Script Configuration** option. ![](https://cdn.document360.io/2d311614-fcb7-4424-8b4c-d4d3091eebeb/Images/Documentation/5890e522-8ba7-48dd-bc17-9457c7ae29ab.png) 4.

For more information on how to create slideshows for a process, see [Slideshow Mode.](/summer-2024/A7mdugENW7gZw1jmnrOv/designer-modeler/process-design/slideshow-mode) Follow these steps to add a placeholder image for the Slideshow Mode: 1. Select the Form Task object from the Process model. 2. Click the ![](https://cdn.document360.io/2d311614-fcb7-4424-8b4c-d4d3091eebeb/Images/Documentation/setting(5).png) icon to view the **Configuration** panel. 3. From the **Placeholder for Slideshow** section, click on the **+Drag or click here** button to upload an image. ![](https://cdn.document360.io/2d311614-fcb7-4424-8b4c-d4d3091eebeb/Images/Documentation/image(295).png) 4. A preview of the image will display, and the configuration will be auto-saved. ![](https://cdn.document360.io/2d311614-fcb7-4424-8b4c-d4d3091eebeb/Images/Documentation/image(296).png) 5. The uploaded image will be shown for this task the next time the slideshow is viewed. ***Notes:*** - *Size of a placeholder image for slideshows must less than 2 MB.* - *Image files with PNG, JPG, JPEG, and GIF extensions are supported.* --- ### Loop Characteristics Panel Setting Use the **Loop Activity** panel settings to specify how to perform multiple instances of this object. The following loop modes are available: #### No Loop Mode Select the **No Loop Mode** option to perform this object's Task only once. Follow these steps to specify characteristics to perform multiple instances of the Task:‌ 1. Select the Task from the Process model. Panels to configure this object display. 2. Expand the **Loop Activity** panel. By default, the **Loop Mode** setting is set to **No Loop Mode** and the function is performed only once. ![](https://cdn.document360.io/2d311614-fcb7-4424-8b4c-d4d3091eebeb/Images/Documentation/image(291).png) #### Loop Select the **Loop** option to sequentially repeat this Task's function multiple times until an exit condition is `True`. This is useful when a function should be performed multiple times with the same set of data, such as, processing a credit card payment. This loop mode has the following characteristics: - The Task's function is repeated until the exit condition is `True` or the maximum iterations limit is reached. - At any given time, only one instance of the Task is active. The subsequent instance does not begin until the current instance completes. - The same exit condition evaluates at the end of each instance; however, value(s) of the Request variable(s) used in the exit condition can change during an instance resulting in the exit condition to eventually evaluate as `True`. - If any one instance of that function does not complete, workflow pauses. - All active instances are terminated if an interrupting boundary-type event object triggers.![](https://cdn.document360.io/2d311614-fcb7-4424-8b4c-d4d3091eebeb/Images/Documentation/load.png) An object configured in this mode shows the **Loop** icon in Process Modeler. Follow these steps to specify characteristics to perform multiple instances of the Task:‌ 1. Select the Task from the Process model in which to specify multiple instance characteristics. Panels to configure this object display. 2. Expand the **Loop Activity** panel to display the **Loop** Mode Setting. 3. From the **Loop Mode** setting, select the **Loop** option. The settings for this loop mode display: ![](https://cdn.document360.io/2d311614-fcb7-4424-8b4c-d4d3091eebeb/Images/Documentation/image(292).png) 4. In the **Maximum Iterations** setting, enter an integer value representing the maximum number of times this Task should be performed. 5. In the **Exit Condition** setting, enter a condition in FEEL syntax. When this condition is True the loop activity is halted. #### Multi-instance (Sequential) Select the **Multi-instance (Parallel)** option to perform this Task's Task multiple times in parallel a fixed number of times. This is useful when performing any action in bulk, such as sending an email to several people. This loop mode has the following characteristics: - Instances of the Task are governed by the size of an array-type Request variable where a new instance is created for each item in this variable. For example, an array with 10 items will create 10 parallel instances of this function that each contains data from its respective array index. - All instances begin simultaneously when this Task triggers; however, they perform their function independently of each other. - The function as a whole completes when all instances are complete. - The output from each instance can either be saved in the source Request variable or a new array-type Request variable. - All active instances terminate if an interrupting boundary-type event object triggers. - A Task configured in this mode shows the Multi-instance (Parallel) icon![](https://cdn.document360.io/2d311614-fcb7-4424-8b4c-d4d3091eebeb/Images/Documentation/lines.png) in Process Modeler. Follow these steps to specify characteristics to perform multiple instances of the Task:‌ 1. Select the Task from the Process model in which to specify multiple instance characteristics. Panels to configure this object display. 2. Expand the **Loop Activity** panel to display the **Loop Mode** Setting. 3. From the **Loop Mode** setting, select the **Multi-instance (Parallel)** option. The settings for this loop mode display: ![](https://cdn.document360.io/2d311614-fcb7-4424-8b4c-d4d3091eebeb/Images/Documentation/image(293).png) 4. In the **Request Variable Array** setting, enter the name of an array-type Request variable. The size of this array will determine how many times this loop iterates. 5. In the **Output Data Variable** setting, enter the name of an array-type Request variable in which to store the results of all instances. Each instance of the loop saves to a separate JSON object within the array of the specified Request variable. If the **Output Data Variable** setting is not configured, then the output data replaces the source data in the **Request Variable Array**. #### Multi-instance(Sequential) Select the **Multi-instance (Sequential)** option to perform this Task's function multiple times sequentially a fixed number of times or until an exit condition is `True`. This is useful when sequentially repeating a function multiple times but with a different set of data each time. This loop mode has the following characteristics: - Instances of the function are governed by the size an array-type Request variable where a new instance is created for each item in this variable. For example, an array with 10 items will create 10 parallel instances of this function that each contains data from its respect array index. - At any given time, only one instance of the function is active. The subsequent instance does not begin until the current instance completes. - At the end of each instance an exit condition evaluates and the loop activity halts if the exit condition is `True`. - The function as a whole completes when all instances are complete. - The output from each instance can either be saved in the source Request variable or a new array-type Request variable. - All active instances terminate if an interrupting boundary-type event object triggers. - A Task configured in this mode shows the Multi-instance (Sequential) icon![](https://cdn.document360.io/2d311614-fcb7-4424-8b4c-d4d3091eebeb/Images/Documentation/setting(4).png)in Process Modeler.

Panels to configure this object display. 2. Expand the **Loop Activity** panel to display the **Loop Mode** Setting. 3. From the **Loop Mode** setting, select the **Multi-instance (Sequential)** option. The settings for this loop mode display: ![](https://cdn.document360.io/2d311614-fcb7-4424-8b4c-d4d3091eebeb/Images/Documentation/image(294).png) 4. In the **Request Variable Array** setting, enter the name of an array-type Request variable. The size of this array will determine how many times this loop iterates. 5. In the **Exit Condition** setting, enter a condition in FEEL syntax. When this condition is True the loop activity is halted. 6. In the **Output Data Variable** setting, enter the name of an array-type Request variable in which to store the results of all instances. Each instance of the loop saves to a separate JSON object within the array of the specified Request variable. If the **Output Data Variable** setting is not configured, then the output data replaces the source data in the **Request Variable Array**. --- ### Documentation Panel Settings Describe the object's purpose and how it functions in the Process.

Requests are going to wait the configured number of seconds and consecutive runtime attempts for an unresponsive Script Task before displaying the error. Optionally, notify the [Process Manager](/v1/docs/process-management#who-is-a-process-manager) of the Script Task runtime error via an in-platform or email notification. Follow these steps to edit the **Error Handling** settings: 1. Select the Script Task object from the Process model in which to edit the Error Handling. 2. Ensure that the **Configuration** panel displays. If not, [show it](/v1/docs/show-configuration-settings-for-a-process-model-object). Panels to configure this object display. 3. Expand the **Error Handling** panel if it is not presently expanded. The **Timeout** setting displays. ![](https://cdn.document360.io/2d311614-fcb7-4424-8b4c-d4d3091eebeb/Images/Documentation/f33d6c5c-0b7d-4f80-8e8c-71d498f71e56.png) 4. In the **Timeout** setting, configure how many seconds to wait for an unresponsive Script Task before declaring a time-out as follows: - Enter the number of seconds. Use the up and down arrows to increase or decrease seconds. - Set `0` for no timeout. - Leave empty to use the Script Task default setting. 5. In the **Retry Attempts** setting, configure how many times to re-run the Script Task if the Script Task returns a runtime error as follows: - Enter a number. Use the up and down arrows to increase or decrease the number. - Set `0` for no retry attempts. - Leave empty to use the Script Task default setting. 6. In the **Retry Wait Time** setting, configure how many seconds to wait before attempting a retry as follows: - Enter the number of seconds. Use the up and down arrows to increase or decrease seconds. - Set `0` for no timeout. - Leave empty to use the Script Task default setting. 7. Enable the **In-app Notification** toggle to notify through the user interface to the Process Manager that there is a Script Task runtime error. 8. Enable the **Email Notification** toggle to notify through an email to the Process Manager that there is a Script Task runtime error. --- ### Advanced Panel Settings #### Edit the Node's Identifier Value Process Modeler automatically assigns a unique value to each Process node added to a Process model. However, a node's identifier value can be changed if it is unique to all other nodes in the Process model, including the Process model's identifier value. > [!WARNING] > All identifier values for all nodes in the Process model must be unique. Follow these steps to edit the identifier value for a Script Task object: 1. Select the Script Task object from the Process model in which to edit its identifier value. 2. Ensure that the **Configuration** panel displays. If not, [show it](/v1/docs/show-configuration-settings-for-a-process-model-object). Panels to configure this object display. 3. Expand the **Advanced** panel if it is not presently expanded. The **Node Identifier** setting displays. This is a required setting. ![](https://cdn.document360.io/2d311614-fcb7-4424-8b4c-d4d3091eebeb/Images/Documentation/32e7559e-3e64-414a-a432-9f762e2ed98d.png) 4. In the **Node Identifier** setting, edit the Script Task object's identifier to a unique value from all nodes in the Process model and then press **Enter**.
