Using the Process.PluginRequest Class

The Process.PluginRequest class passes input parameters from the class that implements the interface to the flow.

This class has no methods.

Constructor signature:

1Process.PluginRequest (Map<String,Object>)

The following is an example of instantiating the Process.PluginRequest class with one input parameter:

1Map<String,Object> inputParams = new Map<String,Object>();
2        string feedSubject = 'Flow is alive';
3        InputParams.put('subject', feedSubject);
4        Process.PluginRequest request = new Process.PluginRequest(inputParams);

Code Example

In this example, the code returns the subject of a Chatter post from a flow and posts it to the current user's feed.

1global Process.PluginResult invoke(Process.PluginRequest request) { 
2        // Get the subject of the Chatter post from the flow
3        String subject = (String) request.inputParameters.get('subject');
4        
5        // Use the Chatter APIs to post it to the current user's feed
6        FeedPost fpost = new FeedPost(); 
7        fpost.ParentId = UserInfo.getUserId(); 
8        fpost.Body = 'Force.com flow Update: ' + subject; 
9        insert fpost; 
10
11        // return to Flow
12        Map<String,Object> result = new Map<String,Object>(); 
13        return new Process.PluginResult(result); 
14    } 
15
16    // describes the interface 
17    global Process.PluginDescribeResult describe() { 
18        Process.PluginDescribeResult result = new Process.PluginDescribeResult(); 
19        result.inputParameters = new List<Process.PluginDescribeResult.InputParameter>{ 
20            new Process.PluginDescribeResult.InputParameter('subject', 
21            Process.PluginDescribeResult.ParameterType.STRING, true) 
22            }; 
23        result.outputParameters = new List<Process.PluginDescribeResult.OutputParameter>{ }; 
24        return result; 
25    }
26}
