Hi,

It is possible to do that, in your complete task on the workflow; have a script that uses the Site service API to create the site. Study how the site service API works before attempting to incorporate with the workflow.

But why would you want to create a SITE each time a workflow is complete???

Hi,

Go through this http://docs.alfresco.com/5.1/references/API-JS-SiteService-createSite.html and you should be able to create a site after this.

Hi,

Post the script you are using to create the site with.

[adhi27]

var site = siteService.createSite("site-dashboard", "gamma-site", "Gamma Site", "A site description", siteService.PUBLIC_SITE);

This will only create a site folder structure in Explorer/Repository. So it wont be fully functional site.
You also need to create surf object for Share side configurations like dashboard preset.

Please check OOB Share side webscipt - /share/page/script/org/alfresco/modules/create-site.post
