App Portal 2013 R2
App Portal can integrate with the Microsoft System Center Orchestrator workflow tool. Orchestrator is a workflow management solution for the data center. Orchestrator lets you automate the creation, monitoring, and deployment of resources in your environment.
If App Portal is connected to System Center Orchestrator, App Portal will have the ability to trigger a workflow at various points during an App Portal request lifecycle.
Orchestrator workflows can execute complex, long-running tasks such as creating AD User account, building virtual machines and performing complex logic such as loops and branches.
Important: In order for App Portal to communicate with Workflow Manager, App Portal must be connected to the System Center Orchestrator. See Connecting to Microsoft System Center Orchestrator.
