# Task User API

{% hint style="warning" %}
Workflow engine is configured by zen. We do not support it and do not recommend to use it anymore. Please, use any other workflow engine e.g. [Temporal](https://temporal.io/).

Since the 2405 release, using Aidbox in FHIR schema validation engine is recommended, which is incompatible with zen or Entity/Attribute options.

[Setup Aidbox with FHIR Schema validation engine](broken-reference)
{% endhint %}

Task User API allows users to manually control Aidbox tasks by [RPC methods](../../../../../api/other/rpc-api.md).
