Can you use previous on a notification?

[matthew_hughes]

On a notification, I only want it to trigger if the following conditions are met:

if (previous.getValue('u_cmdb_data_steward.manager') == current.getValue('u_cmdb_data_steward')) {

    answer = true;

}

The above query checks if the previous manager of the steward is the current steward. Can you use previous in a notification?

Hello @matthew_hughes ,

You can not use the previous in notification. You can achieve this by using businees rule.

You can use and check the condition in BR previous can be used in BR.

Trigger the notification using event from BR.

Thank you,

Omkar

Hi @Omkar Kumbhar 

Do you have an example of how a business rule and notification are connected?

Hi there,

Using previous won't be possible is a notification. Perhaps if the notification is triggered through an event, created from a Business Rule for example you could. Though within a Notification record itself, no, not possible.

Can you describe your situation? When/how the notification is triggered?
