Get name of flow

[tschaedl]

Hi,

is there a possibility to get the name of the flow, which is currently running? I want to use action "SetFlowState" to disable all flows of a group excluding the running one.

Thx,
Thomas

Each flow supplies the variable flow_name, which, of course, contains the name of the flow

Hi kintrupf,

thx for this information. Where did you found this. I didn't found "flow_name" either in the forum nor in the help pages.

Regards,

Where did I find it? That's a really good question
I'm a very regular user of Automagic, so I just learned over time...

To find out which variables are supplied by a flow do this:

• create a new flow
• add the condition Debug to the empty trigger
• execute the flow manually

The Debug condition displays all variables, and everything that does not start with "global_" is defined by the flow itself.
Currently these are the variables flow_name, trigger and triggertime.

... or easier:
create a new flow
add any action (for example the action you want to use flow_name in)
tap menu (3 bars or dots)
select "choose variable")
from the list of variables, pick "{flow_name}"
