Access form data from workflow in AEM 5.6.1

[jacob_m1]

Hi Guys,

I want to create a form using form component. Once form is submitted I want to trigger a workflow ( I guess name of workflow I can specifiy in form dialog box).

Inside that workflow... How can I access to all values filled in the form?

Thanks

One way to perform this use case is to submit the form data to a custom sling servlet. 

In side the sling servlet, you can write the form fields to the JCR. Then programmatically invoke the workflow.

Write a custom workflow step that reads the JCR node where form values are stored. Here is how you create a custom workflow step.

Now you have form values in a AEM workflow.
