Flexcards Context Variables
To provide context to data sources, actions, and other components, add global and local context variables to a Flexcard. All variables are case-sensitive.
Global Variables
Name |
Description |
Merge Field |
|---|---|---|
Label |
Salesforce Custom Labels. |
{Label.mylabel} For example, {Label.AccountName} gets a custom label named AccountName. |
objectApiName |
Beginning Winter '22, pass the object API Name to a component as an attribute, such as a Custom LWC, when a Flexcard is on a record page. Similar to {recordId}, use Test Parameters to verify in Preview. See Test Data Source Settings on a Flexcard. Supported property fields:
|
{objectApiName} For example, use an SOQL Query to get a list of accounts. Enter {objectApiName} as the object to query. Then add a Test Parameter whose Key is ObjectApiName and Value is Account. |
Params |
The page parameters passed to the URL. |
{Params.fieldName} For example, {Params.Id} gets the context Id. We recommend using {recordId} to get the context Id of a record. |
Parent |
Reference attributes from the parent Flexcard on the child Flexcard with this variable. Attributes are defined at design time on the parent Flexcard. See Embed Flexcard in a Flexcard. |
{Parent.attributeName} For example, Parent.Id gets the {Id} attribute defined on the parent Flexcard. |
recordId |
Gets the context Id of a Salesforce object's data record. Use Test Parameters to verify in Preview. See Test Data Source Settings on a Flexcard. |
{recordId} For example, if using an Omnistudio Data Mapper to get a list of Account Cases, in the Input Map, enter AccountId as Key and {recordId} as the Value. Then add a Test Parameter whose Key is recordId and Value is 138238279r9ff to populate your Flexcard with actual data. |
records |
The records object of the Flexcard, which can be passed on to Child Flexcard, Custom LWC, and Flyout parameters. |
{records} For example, {records} gets all records, while {records [0]} gets the first available record. |
Session |
Variables used to store values from data sources and external systems, and hardcoded values. Properties are defined at design time on the Flexcard. See Configure Flexcard Settings. |
{Session.sessionkey} For example, {Session.pageLimit} gets a session variable named pageLimit. |
User |
User and Contact properties for the logged-in user. Note
Rendered User context variable is viewable only at run time. View in Preview. Available properties:
|
{User.property} For example, {User.userName} gets the logged in user's username. |
Local Variables
Name |
Description |
Merge Field |
|---|---|---|
action |
The parameters received by an event listener and sent to an action. |
{action.parameter} For example, if your event is sending you a contextId parameter, then use {action.contextId}. To send parameters to an action from a data table, use the {action.result.X} format, where X represents any field name defined within the data source. |
element |
The values set by the toggle element and tied to an action.
|
{element.value}, {element.checked} |
record |
The record object that belongs to the State, and passed on to Child Flexcard, Custom LWC, and Flyout parameters. |
{record}, {record.FieldName} For example, {record} gets the entire record, while {record.Name} gets the Name field from the record. |
