ServiceNow Subflows and Actions

[Priyanka_Ghosh]

Scenario - I have a Flow Action which has a script step. The script is calling a subflow. 

Challenge - The script has to wait until the subflow completes. Only when the subflow completes its execution, the script should proceed with the further steps.

Note - Actually there is approval in the subflow, so only when the Approval is true (approved), the script should resume its further execution.

Any help on achieving the above condition would be appreciated.

Thanks,

Priyanka

I also have most of my approvals in a standardized subflow, so I appreciate where you are coming from.

My only recommendation is to break the script into two discrete actions, then call part A) before the subflow, and part B) after.

You really should just be able to add a wait for condition action

Perhaps even set something via the flow to update and make the condition true so it knows to continue at that point.

Why call a subflow from a script action when you can use wait for conditions along with do the following in parallel actions?

i guess I don’t see why you would need to call a subflow from a custom action when there is usually another way

Agreed, there is an action for calling a script, one for calling a sub-flow. There really shouldn't be the need, but in case it is totally needed a wait for condition would be the way to go
