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?

Hi @Mark Roethof On a business application,  when the Steward field is updated to the line manager of the previous Steward, then a notification email should be sent to the new Steward.

Oke, so in that case you could create a Business Rule that creates an event, and the event trigger a Notification.

Could the following work:

I'm wanting to pass the names of the previous owners into a pararmeter

I think something like that could work. Several optimizations possible, like this does not need to run on insert, best practice to add conditions, things like that.

Is it on purpose that you want the display value in your event? Just checking. Anyway, triggering the Business Rule you should already see if an event is generated or not.

Hello @matthew_hughes ,

Yes this will work.
