About Slack Spoke PostMessage in FlowDesigner

Happy New Year, It's Ken.

 

I have a question about Slack Spoke PostMessage in FlowDesigner.

We are using Slack Spoke when a record is created.

The poster's location is displayed in the notification text.

Location has two types: a reference column (cmn_location) and a String column.

Displays a String column when "Other" is selected in the reference column (cmn_location).

 

So here's a question.

Is it possible to display a String column only when "Other" is selected for Reference column (cmn_location)?

I would like to see some implementation examples such as scripts.

Thanks,

Kentaro.

if you need to send a value based on any condition you have to prepare that value before, for example in a Flow Variable.

 

Please watch the following video to understand what Flow Variables are: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EOhf8f_IgfA

 

For filling that Flow Variable you can leverage an if-then-branch, or you implement it in an inline script (see https://docs.servicenow.com/bundle/vancouver-build-workflows/page/administer/flow-designer/concept/i... )

 

Unfortunately I cannot provide you an example as I'm not in your instance and also your provided details are not sufficient.
