Hi Sreek,

have you configured the workflow input variables in the workflow and it should work

https://docs.servicenow.com/bundle/helsinki-servicenow-platform/page/administer/using-workflows/task/t_WorkflowInputVariables.html

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

Hi Ankur ,Thank for the answer ,

yes , i have used the input variable in the workflow ,

but while passing the value from the business rule i have not used the same id of the input variable.  

after using the same id of the input variable that i have created , it is working fine . 

before modification 

var w = new Workflow();
var vars = {"name":"shankar"};    
w.startFlow('f2732b8adba633003cea0181ca9619d0', ' ', 'workflow name', vars);

in place of 'name' i have provided the input variable id 'u_name'

after modification 

var w = new Workflow();
var vars = {"u_name":"shankar"};   //  here i have modified 
w.startFlow('f2732b8adba633003cea0181ca9619d0', ' ', 'workflow name', vars);

added the logs in workflow runscript ...

gs.log("username is -"+ workflow.variables.u_name);

working as expected ..
