Setting a Variable in WF to be used in another WF

Hello, 

I created the following variable in an Enrichment just before a Delivery activity: 

But when I try to pull that variable into the Delivery Script as a Delivery, I get an error: 

Any ideas on what I'm missing?  I can see the variable created, but not sure why it's not getting recognized.

Hello @montezh2001 

 

You are trying to save the value of the dmOutboundFlag in the delivery schema and there is no such field in the schema.

 

Replace

delivery.dmOutboundFlag =vars.dmOutboundFlag;

with

delivery.variables._var[0] = vars.dmOutboundFlag;

Then in the delivery properties create a variable with the name "dmOutboundFlag".

 

Now you can use this variable in the email delivery like this.

<%= variables.dmOutboundFlag %>

    Thank you for your help. 

     

    This didn't work for what I was trying to do, but it was a solution for another problem I was having. 

     

    For the original problem, I set an Option in the outbound workflow, and in the Inbound workflow that was triggered from the outbound, I used a getOption in a Test activity to determine which transition my workflow needed to process. I reset the option once a path was established. 

     

    Thank you again.
