How to pass value of catalog variables to the flow?

[M Iftikhar]

Hi,
You can pass the catalog variables like the following example:

(function() {
    try {
        var inputs = {};
        // 1. Pass the current record (the RITM)
        inputs['record'] = current;
        
        // 2. Access the catalog variables and add them to the inputs object.
        // To pass a single-line text variable named 'requester_email':
        inputs['user_email'] = current.variables.requester_email;
        
        // To pass a reference variable named 'new_laptop_model':
        // For reference variables, you often need the sys_id:
        inputs['laptop_sys_id'] = current.variables.new_laptop_model.sys_id;
        
        // If your flow input is expecting the Display Value (string):
        // inputs['laptop_display_name'] = current.variables.new_laptop_model.getDisplayValue();

        var flowName = 'global.your_flow_name';
        var result = sn_fd.FlowAPI.getRunner().flow(flowName).inForeground().withInputs(inputs).run();
        
    } catch (ex) {
        var message = ex.getMessage();
        gs.error('Error calling flow from workflow: ' + message);
    }
})();

@Nikita50 - try calling subflow from the workflow, i did this in our project-

script: 

 try {
       var inputs = {};
       inputs['task_sys_id'] = current.sys_id.toString();
       inputs['task_number'] = current.number.toString();
       inputs['jira_issue_key'] = current.correlation_id.toString();
       inputs['change_summary'] = 'Task deactivated - Current State: ' + currentStateDisplay;
       inputs['state_details'] = currentStateDisplay;
       inputs['updated_by'] = gs.getUserName();
       inputs['updated_on'] = new GlideDateTime().getDisplayValue();
       
       // Start the subflow
       var result = sn_fd.FlowAPI.getRunner()
           .subflow('global.sc_task_to_jira_state_sync')
           .inForeground()
           .withInputs(inputs)
           .run();
           
       var outputs = result.getOutputs();
       gs.info('Jira state sync subflow triggered for task: ' + current.number + 
               ' (Deactivated - State: ' + currentStateDisplay + ') by user: ' + gs.getUserName());
               
   } catch (ex) {
       var message = "Error occurred in Jira state sync: " + ex;
       gs.error(message);
   }

Just make sure you create all the inputs for the subflow and use it in the script as inputs['subflowInput']

@Nikita50 

are you calling flow or subflow?

If my response helped please mark it correct and close the thread so that it benefits future readers.
