How to Access $userId Within Custom Tool/Function?

[dkindlund]

@HenryHengZJ, is there any way to access the current $userId within a custom tool/function?

Ultimately, I'm trying to "pass through" that $userId into a downstream chatflow for proper Langfuse reporting.

[HenryHengZJ]

where is the $userId coming from?

Hey @HenryHengZJ , the $userId is originally provided to Flowise as a parameter in the ‘overrideConfig`, like:

output = query({
    "question": "Hey, how are you?",
    "overrideConfig": {
        "userId": "123"
    }
})

not possible yet, so am I right to say you're looking for something like $flow.overrideConfig.userId on top of the rest of the available flow configurations - https://docs.flowiseai.com/integrations/langchain/tools/custom-tool#additional

Hey @HenryHengZJ , yes - exactly! Having all of the overrideConfig data available via like a $flow.overrideConfig reference would be greatly appreciated!
