Creating Action Flow inputs
Action Flow inputs allow you to pass data with a predefined structure to a Action Flow every time you run it. First, define the expected data structure necessary to start your Action Flow. Then, whenever you run the Action Flow with defined Action Flow inputs,Celonis platform shows a form where you enter the required data. You can use the data from your Action Flow input in all modules in the Action Flow.
Notice
You can define Action Flow inputs for your Action Flow before or after adding your modules.
In the Action Flow editor, click the Action Flow input icon.
Click Add item.
Enter the Name. This field is mandatory.
Warning
You cannot use spaces or special characters in the name. You can use letters, numbers, and the underscore symbol (_).
You can only start with a letter or underscore.
Select the input data type from the dropdown menu.
In Required, select whether this input is required or not to start your Action Flow.
If you select Yes, your Action Flow cannot run unless you provide the required input.
Warning
If you have Required inputs, your Action Flow scheduling type must be On-demand.
If you select No, the Action Flow can run without the specific input.
Repeat the process if you need to add more items.
Click Save.
Important
Clicking Save in the Action Flow inputs form interface does not save the inputs. You still need to save your whole Action Flow.
Click the save icon to save your Action Flow.
Tip
You can use the Action Flow inputs as mappable values in your Action Flows. You can find them under the Variables tab in the mapping dialog.
