Output Variables

The Pill Container exposes several output variables you can reference in your flow after the screen. To use them, select the screen element in Flow Builder, then the Pill Container component, and pick the output variable you need.

Item Clicks

When users click on a pill, these variables tell you which pill was clicked.

Output variable	Type	What it returns
Clicked Item	Record (SObject)	The full Salesforce record of the pill the user clicked.
Clicked Item Name	Text (String)	The name of the clicked pill.

Example: Use Clicked Item to navigate to a detail screen when a user clicks on a tag or filter pill.

Action Clicks

When users click an action button on a pill, these variables identify which action was triggered and on which pill.

Output variable	Type	What it returns
Clicked Item Action Item	Record (SObject)	The full Salesforce record of the pill where the user clicked an action.
Clicked Item Action Name	Text (String)	The name of the action the user clicked (e.g., "Remove", "Edit"). Use in a Decision element to route the flow based on which action was pressed.
Clicked Item Action Item Name	Text (String)	The name of the pill where the action was clicked.

Example: A user clicks "Remove" on a filter pill. Use a Decision element to check if Clicked Item Action Name equals "Remove", then update the filter collection accordingly.

When users drag pills into a new order (requires Sortable to be enabled), these variables capture the new sequence.

Output variable	Type	What it returns
Sorted Items SObject	Record Collection (SObject[])	All pills in their new order as a collection of Salesforce records.
Items	Collection (PillContainerItem[])	All pills in their new order, using the component's internal format. Use Sorted Items SObject instead if you need standard Salesforce records.
