How can I create a flow on the requested item table?

I am going to be tasked with creating an application using App Engine Studio and Flow Designer.

My first model (record producer / custom table / flow) was unsuccessful because I created a custom table and the "Ask for approval" function in Flow Designer doesn't work on custom tables.

My second model (catalog item / OOB table / flow) was unsuccessful because it does not appear to be possible to create a flow based on the "Requested Item" table. It's been coded out.

My third model (catalog item / OOB table / workflow) is successful. However, it does not meet my goal because it uses a workflow and not a flow.

Is there any way to create a flow based on the requested item table? Or is a workflow the only option here?

You can create a Flow with the trigger condition "Service Catalog". And then after activating the flow select the Flow it on the Catalog Item under "Process Engine"

Also make sure to use the Action "Get Catalog Variables" in the flow to access the variables from your Requested Item.

I hope that helped!
