[SalesForce] Unable to get the record Id in flow

I am using a custom button in classic to open the flow page with url
/flow/runtime.apexp?flowDevName=Account_Handover&accountId={!Account.Id}

I need to get this accountId in my visual flow, so I have created accountId variable, if I don't enable the lightning skin from Process Automation Settings I get this account Id, but as soon as I enable the lightning skin in there (which I need to have in order to use custom lightning components in flow), I get the accountId as null.

Any suggestion/idea if I am missing something?

Assuming your flow name is "Account_Handover", you should replace the custom button url with the following:

/flow/Account_Handover?accountId={!Account.Id}

Also, make sure that an "accountId" variable (text, input and output) exists in your flow so that it can be assigned to it, and you can use it later in your flow.

[SalesForce] how to run flows in classic url even if “Run Flows with a Lightning Skin” is enabled

After raising the case with salesforce,instead of providing me the possible workaround they have just provided the bug number 'W-327172'.After doing some analysis I have found possible workaround that works both in classic as well as lightning.We need to create a VF page that calls visual flows and in VF we have to mention the return url.

<apex:page standardController="Opportunity" >
    <flow:interview name="Mention_Flow_Name" finishLocation="/{!Opportunity.Id}">
        <apex:param name="OpportunityId" value="{!Opportunity.Id}" />
    </flow:interview>
</apex:page>

In my requirement I have to create custom button on Related List Object not on parent object.In Current Salesforce Design,You can not call VF page when Button Type is List Button.So I have Used the below syntax and Bingooo,it works perfectly fine in my Case:

/apex/UpdateCompetitor?Id={!Opportunity.Id}&OpportunityId={!Opportunity.Id}

I have confirmed this syntax with Salesforce Tier 3 Agent.As per them,it is a valid syntax that you can use to solve this kind of requirement.
