Is there a way to populate a Flow variable from a URL parameter?

Hi,

I'm using Force.com Flow, the new function available in Spring '11. Is there a way to populate a Flow variable from a URL parameter?

I'd like to create a custom link on the Account detail page that will launch a Flow and pass the Account ID to the Flow as a parameter. I've read through the Flow documentation and searched the message boards but I haven't found an example. Thanks for any help.

Yes. You can use the standard URL parameter passing mechanism. So in your use assuming you are launching the flow from a custom button or link on an account object, you can use the following:

/flow/myAccountFlow?vaAccountID={!Account.Id}&vaAccountName={!Account.Name}

where vaAccountID and vaAccountName are Flow variables.

 

Hope this helps..
