Hi @Community Alums ,

You can create a custom flow action having 'Script step' in it and in that script you can put below lines. Then just use that new action inside your flow.

var job = new GlideRecord('sysauto_script');
job.addQuery('name','That Schedule Job Name');
job.query();
if (job.next()) {
    SncTriggerSynchronizer.executeNow(job);
}

what's your requirement to run scheduled job from flow?

You will have to use custom flow action and then use this script

var jobRecord = new GlideRecord('sysauto_script');
jobRecord.addQuery('name', 'Schedule Job Name');
jobRecord.query();
if (jobRecord.next()) {
    gs.executeNow(jobRecord);
}
