Single Workflow Input Parameters

For starting workflows on a single asset in the search results list of MediaPortal you can still use workflows that must at least have one of the above workflow input parameters.
Each of those parameters will get automatically the values assigned as described above.
If the workflow has additional input parameters their values will have to be specified in the MediaPortal Send to dialog manually.

List of Workflow Input Parameters (For Multi-Instance Workflows)

It is highly recommended to use WorkflowObjects JSON object as the input parameter for MediaPortal Send to workflows. This parameter has to be specified as Input for Multi-Instance tasks or sub-workflows. MediaPortal will provide all of the above parameters in this JSON as a list. If a workflow is triggered on a single asset in MediaPortal, the list will contain one element with all those parameters. If it is triggered on a MediaPortal Collection with several assets, it will provide a list of elements with all those parameters.
