Supply sObject record to process builder flow via REST API
I'm trying to invoke a custom flow (built via process builder) via REST API.
The process begins with a contact record,
This process starts when another process invokes it.
Select an object
to associate with the process:
Contact
The unique API name of the process is my_process.
I am trying to post a contact record into this custom action, like so:
url = instance_url +'/services/data/v33.0/actions/custom/flow/my_process'
headers = {
'Authorization': 'Bearer ' + access_token,
'Content-Type' : 'application/json'
}
payload = {
'inputs': [{
'sObjectId': '0034F000005RUTOQG5'
}]
}
The response is:
[
{
"actionName":"my_process",
"errors":[
{
"statusCode":"UNKNOWN_EXCEPTION",
"message":"The flow doesn't have a variable with the name sObjectId, or the variable doesn't allow input access.",
"fields":[
]
}
],
"isSuccess":false,
"outputValues":null
}
]
I did check that the flow is available, via GET request to:
/services/data/v33.0/actions/custom/flow
and it did show my_process.
How can I supply the contact value to the flow via the REST api?
Thank you!

EDIT: tried changing the key to 'recordId'
'inputs': [{
'recordId': '0034F000005RUTOQG5'
}]
based on:

Oh man... of course, it was a case issue.
here is the proper casing for the post payload:
payload = {
'inputs': [{
'SObjectId': '0034F000005RUTOQG5'
}]
}
SObjectId vs sObjectId
