The US Department of Labor (DOL) has an application called "GPMS" that is built using Appian. The application's url is /.
My company builds a related web application. There's duplication between the GPMS (Appian) application and our web application due to a lack of interoperability in GPMS. For example, the GPMS application has "case" records and so does our application. We want to make it easy for a user to navigate from a case in our application to the corresponding case in the GPMS (Appian) application.
The users have entered the GPMS (Appian) "case IDs" (8 digit numbers) into our system. Is there a way to construct a link using only the numeric case ID that would open the corresponding case record in Appian?
For example, let's say there's a case with ID "123456789" in GPMS (Appian). The current url to the page in GPMS is something like the following:
/{...long encrypted parameter...}/view/summary
--------------------------------
There's no way for our application to know what the "long encrypted parameter" part of the URL is. Is there an alternative url scheme that accepts a simple record ID? For example, something like:
/{record-id}/view/summary

I tried asking on the Appian forums and through our GPMS contacts but have not received a response:
