Change flow execution in gallery depending on trigger (user or schedule)

Hi All,

Here is my use case and problem.

I have an app that would usually run scheduled in server using a bunch of parameters. However, I also want people to be able to go into server, find the app and feed their parameters. The flow should then figure out which parameters to use: the default ones, or the ones given.
I figured using variables like __cloud:UserId and Engine.GUIinterface would get me there, but both remain empty when the app is started from server. I would expect at least a UserId to not be empty.

Does anyone have an idea which variable will get me there?

Here's the scenario's:
1. Someone runs the app from designer (GUI = True, UserID = null) Flow will use user given params. This is good.
2. Someone runs the app from Server (GUI = False, UserID = null) Flow should use user given params, but now uses defaults. I expected UserId to return an Id to define the scenario, but it returns nothing.
3. Flow runs on a schedule (GUI = False, UserID = null). Flow uses default params. This is good.

Basically I'm saying or want to say: IF GUI = TRUE or Some other variable that indicates manual prompting (in gallery) then use user given params. Otherwise, use defaults.

Any input would be appreciated.

What I have done now is add an empty interface tool, which when run in server (scheduled) will remain empty, but needs choosing from a user. In this case between a weekly or a monthly report, where when scheduled logic will dictate weekly or monthly report. Still needs testing though. Tomorrow it will have had a couple of iterations, at which point I'll mark this as solved, or I'll still be taking advice.
