I'm trying to invoke a custom flow (built via process builder) via REST API.



The process begins with a contact record,




This process starts when another process invokes it.



Select an object
to associate with the process:



Contact




The unique API name of the process is my_process.



I am trying to post a contact record into this custom action, like so:



url = instance_url +'/services/data/v33.0/actions/custom/flow/my_process'

headers = {
'Authorization': 'Bearer ' + access_token,
'Content-Type' : 'application/json'
}

payload = {
'inputs': [{
'sObjectId': '0034F000005RUTOQG5'
}]
}


The response is:



[
{
"actionName":"my_process",
"errors":[
{
"statusCode":"UNKNOWN_EXCEPTION",
"message":"The flow doesn't have a variable with the name sObjectId, or the variable doesn't allow input access.",
"fields":[

]
}
],
"isSuccess":false,
"outputValues":null
}
]


I did check that the flow is available, via GET request to:



/services/data/v33.0/actions/custom/flow



and it did show my_process.



How can I supply the contact value to the flow via the REST api?



Thank you!

https://developer.salesforce.com/docs/atlas.en-us.api_rest.meta/api_rest/resources_actions_invocable_custom.htm



EDIT: tried changing the key to 'recordId'



'inputs': [{
'recordId': '0034F000005RUTOQG5'
}]


based on:



https://developer.salesforce.com/docs/atlas.en-us.salesforce_vpm_guide.meta/salesforce_vpm_guide/vpm_distribute_internal_action.htm



same error...
