Sending a job waiting in checkpoint through a connection using script

[Soul Forge]

Hello!

So I have the following problem:
I'm generating html e-mails with some info. The html file waits in a checkpoint for the approval of the opperator and, while it's waiting, the opperator can send anothe file through the flow and create a new HTML file that gets updated with the new Info.
I tried to use inject job to remove the old version of the HTML, related to the Order ID, from the Checkpoint folder, but then the old version keeps appearing as a ghost file in the web portal.

If it's not important for the operator to see all info in the HTML file, maybe you can do like this, using th app 'Wait for asset'?

For now it's important for the operator to see it because it's a new process and I need to build trust inside the department, only this way I'm able to make them use it everyday, until it's an automatic process inside their workflow.

Ok, maybe you can add a Reject output in the Checkpoint, that the operator must submit before updating with new data?

I don't know of any good ways to remove a job from a checkpoint without manually send it to an output or using the timeout option.

Well, I think there's no other ways actually.
One thing I keep realizing is that, it would be so much easier if most switch apps had a setting for failing jobs or making some decisions through webhooks.

Maybe it's possible to use the Switch WebServices API? (Maybe Freddy could add som clarity):

This one looks promising: https://www.enfocus.com/manuals/Develop ... ReplaceJob

Well, one more thing I should learn!

Reading the documentation I don't have a clue how to use it. I need to learn the basics of API.

Thanks a bunch Magnus!
