How to pass input parameters to an RPA Bot Process triggered from Flow Designer?

Hello everyone,

I’m working with ServiceNow RPA and Flow Designer and I’m facing a limitation that I haven’t been able to resolve so far.

Scenario

I have an RPA Bot Process created in RPA Studio.

The Bot Process has input parameters defined in the Start component (Inbound inputs).

The Bot Process is published and active.

I want to trigger this Bot Process from a Flow Designer flow based on a specific trigger and pass input values from the Flow to the Bot Process.

Current situation

In Flow Designer, the only available actions I see under RPA Hub are:

Change Life Cycle Stage Status

Fetch Created Jobs

Fetch Updated Jobs

Start Process

When using RPA Hub → Start Process, there is no option to map or pass input parameters, and the inputs defined in the Bot Process do not appear anywhere in the action configuration.

I also do not see any action such as “Run RPA Bot Process” that would allow passing inbound parameters.


Question

Is there a supported way to pass input parameters from Flow Designer to an RPA Bot Process?

Does this require a specific plugin, spoke, or license (e.g. IntegrationHub RPA)?

Or is RPA Hub → Start Process intentionally designed to run the Bot Process without parameters, requiring an alternative pattern (e.g. intermediate table, record-based context, etc.)?

Any clarification on the official/recommended approach for this scenario would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance!
