ServiceNow Learning 144: Can we create a client callable flow, subflow, or action?

[Shamma Negi]

Answer is "YES".

Below is the details:

Enable a client script to trigger a flow, subflow, or action.

• Role required: security_admin
• Consider the implications of making a flow, subflow, or action client callable, such as whether it exposes protected data or bypasses validation logic.

By default, the flows, subflows, and actions can only be called by the FlowAPI within a server script. Flow and action designers can make individual flows, subflows, or actions available to client calls by enabling the Client callable option during the design process.

1. Elevate privileges to security_admin.
2. Navigate to System Security > Access Control (ACL).
3. Click New.
4. Create an access control
5. Assign the role to the user you would like to grant access to.
6. Enable a client script to trigger the flow, subflow, or action.
   1. Open the flow, subflow, or action you want to make client callable.
   2. In the More Actions menu, select Manage security.
   3. Select Callable by Client API.
   4. Add the access control record created earlier to the ACLs field.
   5. Click Update.

Field	Description
Type	client_callable_flow_object
Operation	execute
