How we can initiate a flow from ui action?

[jobin1]

Hi Team,
How can we initiate a flow using ui action I tried below, but it's not working.

ui action script -runs on serviceside

(function executeAction(current) {

    // Set approval to 'Requested'

    current.approval = 'requested';

    current.update();

var ritmNumber = current.number;

  gs.log("inputsvalue0" +ritmNumber);

     var inputs = {

        ritmNumber:ritmNumber

    };

    // Log the input being sent to the flow

   gs.log("inputsvalue" + JSON.stringify(inputs));

    // Start the flow

    var flowAPI = new sn_fd.FlowAPI();

    flowAPI.startFlow('request_approve_flow1', inputs, gs.getUserID());

})(current);

@jobin1 

use create code snippet, get that code and add that in UI action

update your script with the correct inputs

We don't know your sub-flow is in global or some other scope and also the name of the inputs.

So you are the best judge here.

I just shared show the UI action script might look like, please enhance it further

I believe I have answered your question

You can just put the copied code snippet in ui action. That's it.
