In Flow Designer, how can I get the current login user?

[JLeong]

Hi Guys,

In Flow Designer, what is the command/syntax to get the current login user?

Thank you!

So I have been trying this in San Diego and have not been able to accomplish anything. All I am trying to do is this:

Flow trigger is Create Record and so when the record first gets created the system automatically assigns it to the current user. I am using assigned_to field which is a reference field that points to sys_user table. I looked at using created_by but that is a string and it does not work since assigned_to is a reference. The above scripts are not working either. Any help is much appreciated TIA

Hi Mihir,

Personally, I'd just use a business rule for that. Create a business rule that triggers on before insert, and in the script field, write something like current.assigned_to = gs.getUserID();
