To use curl to call an Appian webservice to update a table, you can use the following steps:

  1. Find the URL of the Appian webservice that you want to call. You can find the URL in the Appian Process Modeler.
  2. Create a JSON object that contains the data that you want to update in the table.
  3. Use curl to POST the JSON object to the Appian webservice.

Here is an example of how to use curl to call an Appian webservice to update a table:

curl -X POST \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "name": "John Doe",
    "age": 30
  }' \
  https://api.appian.com/api/v1/my-webservice

The above example will update the name and age columns of the users table.

You can modify the example to meet your specific needs. For example, you can change the URL of the Appian webservice, the name of the table, and the columns that you want to update.
