How to pass a value into workflow

[kulshreshtha]

Hi I have done a very simple workflow which I am trigger using a business rule. Please find below my business rule, workflow.

Business rule:

(function executeRule(current, previous /*null when async*/)

{

.........................

...........................

..........................

  var gr = new GlideRecord('wf_workflow');

  gr.addQuery('name', 'Z');

  gr.query();

  if (gr.next()) {

    var wf = new Workflow();

    var workflowId = '' + gr.sys_id;

    var vars = {};

    vars.number =5;

    wf.startFlow(workflowId, current, current.operation, {number: 5});

  }

  action.setRedirectURL(current);

})(current, previous);

My aim is to assign a value to a workflow variable. Here if workflow variable which i have named as number =5 i need to get mail with subject YES or else NO. Code in If block of workflow is

answer = ifScript();

  function ifScript() {

          if (workflow.scratchpad.number==5) {

                return 'yes';

          }

        return 'no';

  }

Problem is it is always giving NO message. Can anybody help me to get this concept..

Thanks in advance

Naman,

You need to use

workflow.inputs.number

What other changes do you think i need to do, because i am getting NO

Hi Naman,

I've given the docs and the script include a look and don't see that it mentions the scratchpad anywhere. Have you tried just using

if (workflow.number == 5)

???
