Email notification for Watchlist

Cupcake
Mega Guru

I have an email notification that I created for when someone is added to the Watch list.

The intent is to send the notification to the user when they are added to the Watch list. The notification works perfectly - the condition is set to fire when the Watch list changes; however, I am wondering is there a way (script or something) that can be done to only send the notification to the person that was added to the watchlist.

Thank you,

Karen

Karen,



  Create a new event on the table you want it to fire. Then create a business rule and log that event from the business rule as shown below. Change your email notification to be triggered when an event is fired and select the event. In "Who will receive" tab check the event parameter 1 contains recipient as shown below.


1) create a new event by going to "Event Registry" module

2) Create a new before business rule


when: before insert and update


conditions:watch_list changes


Script:


var array= new ArrayUtil();


  var currArr=current.watch_list.split(',');


  var prevArr=previous.watch_list.split(',');


  if(array.diff(currArr, prevArr).length>0){


  gs.eventQueue('watchlist_add', current,array.diff(currArr, prevArr).toString());


  }


Note: copy this script inside the onBefore function( from Fuji onwards). Before Fuji create a new function and copy this script inside that function and call the function

Hi @Abhinay Erra 

this is working for one user, but when we add a new user to watchlist how will this work?

Hi,

As seen some slightly similar requirement so, posting my question.

We have users of three different languages i.e. English, French and Dutch.

Notifications are configured in all three languages.

 

Lets consider an example to get clear idea of requirement -

Assume we have two members added to watchlist one Dutch and the other French so, whenever a ticket is updated then the Dutch user should get the notification in Dutch and French user in French.

 

Can anyone help me to achieve this.

 

Thanks and Regards

Suresh
