Can I rerun flow designer

[Revathi11]

Dear Community, 

I had a flow designer execution with error. I corrected the error and I would like to run the flow designer again. Is there a way to rerun the flow designer again? I know this feature is available for workflows but not sure how i will do this with flow designer. 

Thank You

Hello Revathi, Good day!

As per my inderstanding, there's no "rerun" feature in Flow Designer.

But you can delete the currently executing/errored out flow context and then do an update on the parent record which will re-trigger the flow, if the conditions are meeting.

You can delete the context record via background script or from sys_flow_context table. 

Also, you can exectue the startFlow() API to create a new context of the flow once the executing/errored out flow context is deleted.

Refer below doc for Flow API:
https://docs.servicenow.com/bundle/orlando-application-development/page/app-store/dev_portal/API_ref...

Stay Safe!

Hi,

This is not possible to rerun the flow.

We can always restart the flow using script or attach a flow using script but same context can be started again.

Hi Revathi,

Which environment do you want to rerun it? Can you share the flow? Is it attached to a Catalog item or is it triggered by a condition?

If it is triggered by condition, can you make it so these conditions are there again? Depending on your flow settings it will run again.

If not I have a workaround we could try.

Let me know! 🙂
