calling lightning flow from process builder

Hi Team,

While calling lightning flow builder from process builder, what are the parameters and how should it be passed?

Many Thanks in advance for all your help and support!

Start an autolaunched flow from your process to automate complex business processes. Create flows to perform logic and have events trigger the flows via processes without writing code.


And from your process builder you need to pass the flow input variable to the flow  .. let suppose your flow is accepting a name  of the record then you need to pass the name from the process builder 


refer this links for more info

Hi Harry,
For calling a lightning flow from process builder you should do somewhat the following:
1. Open your desired process builder and add an immediate action where the type is Flows.
2. Then for the Flow select your desired flowname.
3. Under Set Flow Variables, add your flow variables.
For more details please go through: https://trailhead.salesforce.com/en/content/learn/modules/business_process_automation/business_process_automation_combined
I hope you find the above solution helpful. If it does, please mark as Best Answer to help others too.
