            • To add a topic, enter #[string], where string is the topic that you want to add. For example: #[Action Required].

            • allUsers
            • internalUsers

            Store Output Values

            To use the Chatter post’s ID later in the flow, store it in a variable. The values are assigned when the Chatter post is created.

            Assigns the created post’s ID to a resource in the flow.

            This parameter accepts any single-value variables of type Text, Picklist, or Multi-Select Picklist.

            Usage

            At run time, the Chatter post isn’t created until the interview’s transaction completes. Transactions are complete when the interview either finishes or executes a Screen, Local Action, or Wait element.
