Pass file as input to a Subflow

[ILYA STEIN]

I am creating a subflow that needs to append to a file opened in the parent flow. The file is a CSV, created using Begin File. I am not finding a way to pass this file into the subflow as input. Any ideas how to do this, please?

@ILYA STEIN  , If you are above Yokohama release then we have a input called 'File Attachment' in the subflows. I have never really used it, but you can try this in your scenario. 

I believe that we still have a limtation to this to add a single attachment per record. 

Kindly refer the docs here - https://www.servicenow.com/docs/bundle/yokohama-build-workflows/page/administer/flow-designer/refere...

If you are dealing with multiple attachments , then you need to lookup the attachment table in your flow and pass the attachment sys_id/s to the subflow. I know this would involve multiple steps but that's the only solution I think at this moment.

If my response has helped you , kindly mark it as helpful and accept the solution.

I have a flow that creates a CSV file dynamically using BeginFile action. Later on, the flow will conditionally invoke a subflow, which should append line items to the file. In case of successful completion of the parent flow, the file will be attached to an email and sent to designated teams. I cannot find a way to pass the File data pill that was created by BeginFile to the subflow. Looking for recommendations on how to best solve this problem.
