I'm trying to invoke a custom flow (built via process builder) via REST API.

The process begins with a contact record,

This process starts when another process invokes it.

Select an object
to associate with the process:

Contact

The unique API name of the process is my_process.

I am trying to post a contact record into this custom action, like so:

url = instance_url +'/services/data/v33.0/actions/custom/flow/my_process'



headers = {

    'Authorization': 'Bearer ' + access_token,

    'Content-Type' : 'application/json'

}



payload = {

    'inputs': [{

        'sObjectId': '0034F000005RUTOQG5' 

    }]

}

The response is:

[

   {

      "actionName":"my_process",

      "errors":[

         {

            "statusCode":"UNKNOWN_EXCEPTION",

            "message":"The flow doesn't have a variable with the name sObjectId, or the variable doesn't allow input access.",

            "fields":[



            ]

         }

      ],

      "isSuccess":false,

      "outputValues":null

   }

]

I did check that the flow is available, via GET request to:

/services/data/v33.0/actions/custom/flow

and it did show my_process.

How can I supply the contact value to the flow via the REST api?

Thank you!

EDIT: tried changing the key to 'recordId'

'inputs': [{

        'recordId': '0034F000005RUTOQG5' 

    }]

based on:

https://developer.salesforce.com/docs/atlas.en-us.salesforce_vpm_guide.meta/salesforce_vpm_guide/vpm_distribute_internal_action.htm

same error...

Oh man... of course, it was a case issue.

here is the proper casing for the post payload:

payload = {

    'inputs': [{

        'SObjectId': '0034F000005RUTOQG5' 

    }]

}

SObjectId vs sObjectId
