Recently Salesforce made embedding and launching a flow via LWC available. I have been unsuccessful at making this work even after looking through the documentation. https://developer.salesforce.com/docs/component-library/bundle/lightning-flow/documentation

It looks like you pass the flow name as well as the input variables which in this case would be a recordId. It specifically says that it takes an array in, so I added the recordId to the array and passed it in as a parameter.

html:

<template> <lightning-flow if:true={inputVariables} flow-api-name='virtual_diagnostic_notes' flow-input-variables={inputVariables} > </lightning-flow> </template>

JS:

 @api recordId; connectedCallback(){ //do something console.log('RECORD ID FOR LWC', this.recordId); console.log('inputVariables', this.inputVariables); } get inputVariables() { return [this.recordId]; }

I keep getting this error:

enter image description here Any thoughts?

A flow has variables that you set as available for input. Each variable has a name and a type.

When passing values for these variables you must simply pass a JavaScript array of object with properties that name the variable and provide the variable type and value.

Assuming you called your variable "recordId" in the flow and it is a string that receives an ID from your LWC, you need to do the following:

get inputVariables() { return [ { name: 'recordId', type: 'String', value: this.recordId } ]; }

  • Thanks for answer. I thought we needed to pass an array, not an array of objects. Commented Nov 16, 2022 at 16:16
