How to find where a custom flow action is used

[OlaN]

Hi.

If I create a custom Flow Action in Flow designer, I might use this action in numerous Flows and Subflows.
Where can I find which Flows and/or Subflows that use this custom action later on.
I have not been able to determine which table it is stored in, and haven't found any reference to it in the Docs, or in the community.

Hi,

Points below for tables

Flow - sys_hub_flow

Sub Flows - sys_hub_flow

Actions - sys_hub_action_type_definition

Both Flow and Sub Flows are stored in Same table and the Flow Type field helps to distinguish whether it is Flow or Sub Flow

Flow Actions

Contacted support and got an answer.

Flow actions are stored in this table: sys_hub_action_instance.list

Hi OlaN,

One addition I have:

When querying the sys_hub_action_instance table add "^flow.sys_class_name=sys_hub_flow" ot the filter

So that you only get the flow records and not both flow and flow snapshot records.

Thanks,

Cody

Hello @OlaN ,

one another shortcut I found today.

Open the custom action, click on the "More Actions" menu, and select "See Related Flow." Please refer to the screenshot below for reference.

Thank You.

Hi @Abhijeet_Pawar 
Yes, that's correct. This is a feature introduced in later versions of ServiceNow.

When this thread was written,  none of those options were available.
