Scalix Forums

I am looking for alternative for Lotus Workflow Application. As one of my client is using Lotus Domino, and he wanted me to suggest him an good alternative to Lotus Workflow Application before he commit switching to Scalix.

I was wondering any good workflow solution that integrates well with Scalix?

Please advise,
KT

Or is there any way application written in PHP/MYSQL can be integrated with Scalix?
Anyone done this before?

Since 11.3 you can use the newer DAV interface to read calendar entries and emails. There is also the older REST-based API. This works perfectly, but will eventually be deprecated in favour of the DAV-based system, I think was said on here. The documentation for this is available on the Scalix website.

Thanks for the reply.
Sorry to say that, after reading API documentation, i've still do not have the idea, how does the API coding can eventually becoming an workflow engine/apps?

p.s. I am a system integrator guy, sorry to say, i am not familiar with programming stuff.

All the API gives you is a way to speak to the mailstore, add and delete items there. You will then have to use an external application (e.g. in PHP) to handle the workflow, and have that talk to the mailstore via the API. The workflow part you will have to develop yourself.

Any idea what current LAMP software that can support Scalix's API?
Maybe just a bit of fine-tining to be adjusted to make it run.

I'm working on a LAMP-based workflow stack in Perl that I'm trying to tie in with Scalix as well. It will be available as a hosted application (SaaS) or locally installed. I'm actually working on it as I type this in the other window (running unit tests right now). Let me know if you'd like any details or info. Cheers!
