# ScriptableFlowRunnerResult- Scoped

Captures the result of using ScriptableFlowRunner to execute a flow, subflow, or action. Includes data such as the context ID, domain, and any outputs from the flow execution.

Use these methods in your server-side scripts with the `sn_fd` namespace identifier.

## API call Order

Build and execute flows, subflows, and actions using these APIs in the following order:

-   **1. FlowAPI: Creates a builder object**

    Use getRunner\(\) to instantiate the ScriptableFlowRunner builder object.

-   **2. ScriptableFlowRunner: Specify Workflow Studio content to run**

    Use these methods in the following order to create the builder pattern:

    1.  Use one of the methods action\(\), datastream\(\), flow\(\), or subflow\(\) to specify what type of Workflow Studio object to build.
    2.  Use one or more methods such as addInput\(\), inDomain\(\), or quick\(\) to specify execution parameters.
    3.  Use the run\(\) method to run the action, flow, or subflow with the provided parameters and return a ScriptableFlowRunnerResult object.
-   **3. ScriptableFlowRunnerResult: Retrieve Workflow Studio execution details**

    Use one or more methods such as getContextId\(\), getOutputs\(\), and getDomainId\(\) to view execution details.


## Example

This example shows how to create a ScriptableFlowRunner builder object and uses it to execute an approval action on a specific record. A ScriptableFlowRunnerResult object captures the execution arguments and action outputs.

```

(function() {
  try {

    var inputs = {}; 

    inputs['sys_id'] = '57af7aec73d423002728660c4cf6a71c';  // Pass the record's sys_id in as input.  

    var result = sn_fd.FlowAPI.getRunner()  // Create a ScriptableFlowRunner builder object.
      .action('global.markapproved')        // Run the global scope action named markapproved.
      .inForeground()
      .inDomain('TOP/ACME')                 // Run the action from the TOP/ACME domain.                               
      .withInputs(inputs)
      .run();                               // Run the action and return a FlowRunnerResult object.

    var contextId = result.getContextId();  // Retrieve the context ID from the result
    var dateRun = result.getDate();
    var domainUsed = result.getDomainId();  // Retrieve the Domain ID from the result.
    var flowName = result.getFlowObjectName();
    var flowObjectType = result.getFlowObjectType();

    var outputs = result.getOutputs();            // Retrieve any outputs from the action execution.
    var newApprovalStatus = outputs['approval'];  // Echo back the approval status for verification.
		
  } catch (ex) {
    var message = ex.getMessage();
    gs.error(message);
  }
	
})();
   
```

</table>This example shows how to retrieve information about the executed flow, subflow, or action from the ScriptableFlowRunnerResult object.

```
(function() {

      .run();

    gs.info(result.debug());

  } catch (ex) {
    var message = ex.getMessage();
    gs.error(message);
  }

})();
```
