# Initiating a launch

The launch can be initiated via a `<form>` and the `form-post-redirect` flow. Both HTI and SHOF are similar while initiating a launch.

```html
<html>
<head>
</head>
<body onload="document.forms[0].submit();">
<form action="https://module.provider.eu/modules/x" method="post">
<input type="hidden" name="launch" value="eyJhbGciO..."/>
<input type="hidden" name="iss" value="https://fhir-server.koppeltaal.headease.nl/fhir/DEFAULT"/>
</form>
</body>
</html>
```

## Launch

<mark style="color:green;">`POST`</mark> `{{ActivityDefinition.endpoint}}/`

This request initializes the launch.
