I am creating a workflow to receive email create request from ServiceNow and create email in SailPoint.
This is the initial step where reading the requestion coming from ServiceNow

		String strParameters=returnBlank(Parameters);                				
		ArrayList paramList = JsonUtil.parse(strParameters); 
               								
		for (Map paramMap : paramList) 
		{
			
			if("UserId".equalsIgnoreCase(paramName))
			{
				  workflow.put("userId", paramValue);
			}
		}
		           								   				   			   		  		
	   		
		String requesteeID=returnBlank(workflow.get("userId"));
	   			   
		if(requesteeID.equalsIgnoreCase(""))
		{
			strErrorMessage.append("UserId Missing in request").append("  ,  ");
		}else
		{
			  Identity identityRequestee = getIdentity(context, "staffId", requesteeID);
	   
			  
	   
			  if(identityRequestee==null)
			  {
					strErrorMessage.append("User Id not available in Identity Warehouse").append("  ,  ");
			  }else
			  {
				   
				   workflow.put("identityName", identityRequestee.getName());
				   workflow.put("identityDisplayName", identityRequestee.getDisplayName());
				   //context.decache(identityRequestee);
			  }
	         }

I want to pass above “userId” into “identity”

  String output = "";   
     
      Identity identity = context.getObjectByName(Identity.class,identityName);
             
      if(identity == null)
      {
          // Return Empty
      }  
	  
      if(null!=identity)
        {String accountName = identity.getStringAttribute("staffId");
           String compCode   =  identity.getStringAttribute("compCode");}

@j1241 if you are doing put in same workflow then you need in another steps.

• Hoping you define Variable on top
• you can set value in by workflow.put(“userId”, “ABC”);
• In next step, you can simply pass as argument and directly get the value or you can use workflow.get(“userId”);

If you are calling subworkflow, then while calling another WF, you can pass as argument and in next workflow you need to declare and mark input=true while defining the variable.

Can you give some more insight ?

Thank you @pravin_ranjan for your reply

It is happening in one workflow but different step

Here is the complete workflow i created

this is what I thought

Identity identity = workflow.get(“userId”);
inplace of
Identity identity = context.getObjectByName(Identity.class,identityName);
