How to get current sys_id in ACTION (in flow designer)?

Hi,

How to get the current.sys_id of the current record where FLOW (with Action) is running?

Hi,

I'm not suggesting you to hard code the sys_id. Hope you have a custom Action created and is called from a flow. The current record of flow is not accessible to action. You need to pass this as input parameter to the action.

In Action, create a Action Input with name as sys_id and Type as string. You need to pass the sys_id of the record from the flow so that it is dynamic to the flow (drag and drop sys_id field of the trigger record as input to the action).

In the script step, add a Input variable, set some valid name (sys_id). In value field of this param you can drag and drop the sys_id from Input Variables

Now you can refer this sy_id as input.sys_id or input['sys_id'] in the script. This holds the dynamic value passed from the flow.

Thank you,
Palani

Hi,

try this

var sysId = fd_data.trigger.current.sys_id;

if that doesn't work then send the record sysId as input to subflow and access the value within the script
