Hi Tumelo

You can create a Alfresco Webscript which would be exposed via some REST URL.The webscript would move the workflow to next step.You can use following method in WorkflowService to end task via code.

public WorkflowTask endTask(String taskId, String transition)

You can add code to call this webscript in the external job so that it triggers end of the task.

The activiti workflow built into alfresco can be an "external framework" itself or call other "external frameworks."

Hi

There are some OOTB webscripts which can be used to fetch tasks information.Refer following URL
