Invoking Adobe Experience Manager Workflows using the AEM Java API

You can create a workflow for Adobe Experience Manager. A workflow automates Experience Manager activities and is a series of steps that are executed in a specific order. Each step performs a distinct activity such as activating a page or sending an email message. Workflows can interact with assets in the repository, user accounts, and Experience Manager services. Therefore, workflows can coordinate complicated activities that involve any aspect of Experience Manager.

For more information about workflows, see http://dev.day.com/docs/en/cq/current/workflows/wf-overview.html#par_reference.

This article creates a simple workflow and then discusses how to invoke the workflow using the AEM Java API. To read this article, click http://helpx.adobe.com/experience-manager/using/invoking-experience-manager-workflows-using.html.
