Run Flow from script

[Sylvain12]

Hi Everyone,

I am trying to run a Flow from a background script (final goal is to run it from fix script).

However, flow is not triggering, here is the script:

  var inputs = {};
  inputs["table_name"] = "sc_req_item";
  inputs["request_item"] = "RITMXXXXXX"; // here I input RITM number

  sn_fd.FlowAPI.executeFlow("global.the_flow_name", inputs );
}

I also tried with startFlow instead of executeFlow, but result is the same.

Am I missing something here ?

Thank you very much in advance for your support !

Kr,

Sylvain

Hi 

For the inputs you need to pass GlideRecord Object( gliderecord to ritm table and get the gliderecord object of the RITM)

try by removing

inputs["request_item"] = "RITMXXXXXX";

and pass

inputs["current"] = GlideRecord Object

Hello Girish,

Thank you very much for your reply.

I tried the above but result is the same:

var grRITM= new GlideRecord("sc_req_item");
grRITM.get("RITM2486673");

  var inputs = {};
  inputs["table_name"] = "sc_req_item";
  inputs["current"] = grRITM.number; 

  sn_fd.FlowAPI.executeFlow("global.demand_management_for_im_products__release", inputs );

 Is this what you meant ?

Too late but maybe someone can use it...

var gr = new GlideRecord('task_time_worked');
	gr.get('sys_id');
	try {
		var inputs = {};
		inputs['current'] = gr; // GlideRecord of table:  
		inputs['table_name'] = 'task_time_worked';

Hi @Sylvain12 ,

Try this :

var grr = new GlideRecord('sc_req_item');
grr.addQuery('number', 'RITMXXXX');
grr.Query();
if(grr.next()){

 var inputs = {};
  inputs["table_name"] = "sc_req_item";
  inputs["request_item"] = grr; 

  sn_fd.FlowAPI.executeFlow("global.the_flow_name", inputs );


}
