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?

Do you mean like this: 

  gs.eventQueue('lbg.notify.reassignBAS', current, previous.u_cmdb_data_steward.getDisplayValue(), current.u_cmdb_data_steward.getDisplayValue());

@matthew_hughes 

3rd parameter should be user sysId so it should be this

I hope you have marked Event parm1 contains recipient checkbox as True on notification

gs.eventQueue('lbg.notify.reassignBAS', current, previous.u_cmdb_data_steward, current.u_cmdb_data_steward.getDisplayValue());

I've tried that and it's not generating an event.

Hi @Ankur Bawiskar 

When it comes to my notification, how would I get the display name of the previous owner?

@matthew_hughes 

To whom email should be sent? the current user right present in that field?

are you saying you want to send email to the previous user?

If you wish to send to current user present in u_business_owner field then update as this

gs.eventQueue('lbg.notify.reassignBAS', current, current.u_cmdb_data_steward, previous.u_cmdb_data_steward.getDisplayValue());

Then in your email body wherever you wish to access the previous user use event.parm2 and not event.parm1 since we are sending it in 2nd parm
