I was able to&nbsp; authenticate and start a process using the REST API, is it possible to pass some data to that process using the REST API? How to do so?

Hi Hasitha,

Yes of course!

You can have a look to that documentation page:&nbsp;[https://documentation.bonitasoft.com/bonita/7.11/bpm-api#start-a-process-using-an-instantiation-contract](https://documentation.bonitasoft.com/bonita/7.11/bpm-api#start-a-process-using-an-instantiation-contract)

If you were already able to start a case without data, following this page should be quite easy for you.

&nbsp;

hope this helps,

Captain Bonita
