Passing multiple record IDs to another flow

Use Case

With the Avonni Data Table and the Open Flow Dialog interaction, you can select multiple records and send their IDs as input variables to another flow

Guided Steps

1

Add an Action to the Data Table

Actions let you trigger interactions directly from the Data Table. You can add them in several ways:

• Header action – button in the header bar.

• Row action – button tied to each record.

• Button/Button Icon column – custom clickable elements.

After adding one, your Data Table will include a new action button

2

Configure the Interaction for the Action Button

Now let’s make the button actually do something.

1. Open the Interaction Tab

   • In the Component Builder, go to the Interaction tab of your Data Table.

2. Add a Header Action

   • Click Add Header Action to create a new interaction.

3. Link to Your Action

   • In the Target Name field, select the action button you created earlier.

4. Choose the Interaction Type

   • In the Type field, select Open Flow Dialog.

   • This ensures that pressing the button will open a flow dialog.

5. Select the Flow

   • In the Flow API Name field, choose the flow you want to trigger.

6. Pass Input Variables

   • In the Input Variable section, click Add Item.

   • Name: Enter a unique name for your input variable.

   • Value: Select Selected Record Ids to pass the IDs from the Data Table.

   • Type: Choose Text.

   • Allow multiple values: Enable this option to pass multiple record IDs at once.

7. Save

   • Click Done to save your interaction

You should ensure the flow you're triggering is designed to accept and correctly process the passed record IDs by creating a text variable with the same input variable name.
