the output parameters are available for the steps after your custom workflow activity, for example you can create a new task record and put as topic the content of your error text

Hi Martin,

It doesn't appear in details. While creating the workflow, it will appear when you set the properties of any step under the look for option with the name of the step.

Hi Martin,

No, Input parameter appears in the left panel when you select the Set properties of the step where you are calling the custom workflow activity.

Output parameters appears for all the steps you add after the custom workflow activity step.

In the screenshot I shared, I have the ste called "Get Record ID" which is calling the custom workflow activity.

This workflow activity return the output parameter named "Record ID". So in the next step named "Display record id", I am using setting the message as the record id returned from my custom workflow activity step.

Hi Martin,

The screenshot I shared above throw the message with the value returned from the output parameter of the custom workflow activity. Basically you need to add the step to stop the workflow as cancelled and then in the properties pass the value from the output parameter.

Please take a look and try.

This is the output of the above workflow.
