Trigger a workflow from inbound action

Indup · ‎03-26-2020

HI friends,

I want to trigger a workflow from inbound action. Can some one give me the lines of code plz.

i seen this link, but i am doubtful that how can we use workflow sys id as it changes every time we checkout and publish. So how to do this?

Also tell me how to get the sys id of a workflow.

Thanks in advance

Regards,

Indup

Hi,

use below script; give your workflow name

var workflowRec = new Workflow();

workflowRec.startFlow(wflw.getWorkflowFromName('give the workflow name'), current, 'update');

Mark ✅ Correct if this solves your issue and also mark 👍 Helpful if you find my response worthy based on the impact.
Thanks

Ankur,

If I am getting variables from the email body in my Inbound Action like in this example:

var userInitials = email.body.initials;
var branch = email.body.branch;

How can I pass those variables to the workflow and use them in it if I am calling the workflow from a script?

Please mark this response as correct and/or helpful if it assisted you with your question.
