  • 1.  Accessing Data from Parent Workflow in Child Workflow

    Posted Wed June 10, 2020 06:13 PM
    Hey everyone,

    I was wondering if it's possible to access data from a parent workflow within a child workflow?

    To better explain here's a picture of what I am considering a parent workflow:


    The workflow within the parent workflow, '[DEV] Child Worklfow', is what I'm considering a child workflow.

    I'm wondering if it's possible to access the results of the function '[DEV] Test Workflow' from within the child workflow? My use-case would be to access the results from the parent workflow to use as inputs to functions in the child workflow. I am naming the output / results of the function in the parent workflow, but the `workflow` object appears to be empty within the child workflow.

    Any ideas?

    Thanks!

    I don't think that is currently possible. We do have a roadmap item coming where playbooks (workflows) will be able to have inputs. Then the parent playbook will be able to set the input for the child playbook.

    I think the only thing to do right now is store the data in an incident field and get it from there.

    That's great news, I think that'll be really powerful functionality.

    Thank you Ben!
