How to trigger a workflow from a flow designer via run script

[Arka Banerjee1]

Hi All,

I need to trigger a workflow that is configured for sc_req_item table from an intermediate step in a flow. Can someone please help me with the exact script to achieve this as I cant call call a workflow flow logic on any workflow for sc_req_item table. The flow is on service catalog trigger. Also I need to hold the flow from proceeding until the workflow is completed which is triggerred via the run script in FD. Can someone please help me with this as its urgent.

Hi @Arka Banerjee1 

var w = new Workflow();
var context = w.startFlow(w.getWorkflowFromName('Name of the workflow'), null, null, inputs);

Hi Basheer,

What are those null parameters passed? And if I dont have any input variables in my workflow, then what do I need to pass. Also how to make the flow wait until the workflow is completed executing to proceed further.

@Arka Banerjee1 

why not embed the workflow logic in flow itself?

Why to maintain flow and workflow both?

the sample script if you still require it is shared already. Ensure you pass correct workflow name and inputs

Hi Ankur,

In our use case, actuvally the part configured in the workflow is pretty difficult/impossible to implement in flow designer. Hence why I need to have the workflow triggered from the script. Can you please suggest how to hold the flow execution until the workflow is completed.

Thanks!
