Using Catalog Task Variables in actions in Flow

[shoonie]

Hi, 

I am at a loss on what to do.  😅

I am working on a flow where after approvals, a catalog task will be created. This catalog task is for the fulfillment group (I am assuming) and it will contain variables that the group should edit. These variables are NOT visible in the RITM and the Catalog item, and it will only be shown in the catalog task. For example, there is this variable called Delivery Method which the fulfillment group chooses when the SCTask is created and assigned to them.

In the flow, I used the Create Catalog Task action, chose the template catalog item and added the variables that I want shown in the catalog task (including Delivery Method).

How do I get the input of the variables AFTER the fulfillment group adds it? I need to use it in an if condition after the Create Catalog Task action... For example, if the fulfillment group chooses Onsite, then call this subflow or if the fulfillment group chooses Postal Services, it will call this subflow.

Is there a way to do this?

yes you can use fresh "Get Catalog Variables" flow action again after your Catalog Task action.

Then you can grab the latest value of that variable and use IF flow logic.

Note: Don't use earlier "Get Catalog Variables" flow action as it will not give you the updated value
