Get Process Instance Count (POST)

Queries for the number of historic process instances that fulfill the given parameters. This method takes the same message body as the Get Process Instances (POST) method and therefore it is slightly more powerful than the Get Process Instance Count method.

Method

POST /history/process-instance/count
