How to kill flow using script and trigger it using script

[Alon Grod]

Hi,

im calling a client script that calls a script include and pass as a parameter a sys_id of a change_request.

How can I kill the current flow (not workflow) on the change_request and then trigger a new flow using his sys_id using using on the change_request

Hi @Alon Grod , 

You can achieve your requirement by following the below step.

var flow_GR = new GlideRecord("sys_flow_context"); 

flow_GR.addQuery("name", "flow name to cancel"); 

flow_GR.addQuery('source_record', 'sysid of the record');

flow_GR.addEncodedQuery('stateINWAITING'); // add the condition based on your flow stage

flow_GR.query(); 

while (flow_GR.next()) { 

sn_fd.FlowAPI.cancel(flow_GR.getUniqueValue(), 'Cancel this flow'); 

} 

var flowAPI = new sn_fd.FlowAPI();

var inputs = { sys_id: 'your_parameter_sys_id_here' };

flowAPI.startSubflow('subflow_sys_id_name', inputs);

In this example I'm only providing a sys_id as input and expecting the subflow to contain a input "sysid".
