How to pass inputs from wrofklow to subflow in flow designer

anvitha ash · ‎01-17-2025

Hello,

I have a workflow where I store variable values from RITM variables.

For example, let's say I have a catalog item called ABC. Once the request is submitted, I store some variable values from the RITM of that item, like:

var aa = current.variables.xyz;  
var bb = current.variables.abc;

Now, I am invoking a Subflow (Flow Designer) using a Run Script activity, and I need to pass the variables aa and bb to the Subflow. These variables need to be used within the Subflow to determine the next steps.

Can someone please guide me on how to pass workflow variables into a Subflow?

Thanks in advance 🙂

something like this

try {
    var aa = current.variables.xyz;
    var bb = current.variables.abc;
    var inputs = {};
    inputs['inputVariable1'] = aa;
    inputs['inputVariable2'] = bb;
    var result = sn_fd.FlowAPI.getRunner().subflow('subflowName').inBackground().withInputs(inputs).run();
    var outputs = result.getOutputs();

} catch (ex) {
    var message = ex.getMessage();
    gs.error(message);
}

@anvitha ash

you can run the flow in foreground so that you get the flow completed and then only next line will work
