Create a New Module to Run a Flow?

mfhaciahmetoglu · ‎04-19-2024

Hey all,

I have a small question.

I want to create a new module under All. And when the user choose this module, I want a flow in the flow designer to be activated.

Do you know how this can be done?

Thanks.

Best,

Firat

Choose Script (from Arguments) and paste the following script into the arguments field (docs)

// Starts the flow asynchronously.
          var result = sn_fd.FlowAPI.getRunner()
          .flow('global.myFlow')
          .inBackground()
          .withInputs(inputs)
          .run();

Worth bearing in mind that the Flow runs asynchronously with the above code. No feedback will be presented to the user on the success or failure of the Flow.

As others have said, it's probably better to use the same script in a UI Action or a more context-sensitive area.

Hi @mfhaciahmetoglu

There is no module called All. You can create module as per the application like Incident/change. The screenshot which you shared tell that how the module will open.

Hello,

Thank you for your response. Please read my question more carefully.

I said a new module under "All" and I asked how that module can trigger a flow.

Do you happen to know how?

Thanks.

Best,

Hi @mfhaciahmetoglu

All is a menu navigation of banner frame,

Also a flow work on record / table not in Module mate , So if by using that module if I create any record then the flow will be attached. In link type, you will not find a way to add flow.

Thanks!

So then I can actually create a request, which then will trigger the flow.

That sounds like a solution.

Thanks.
