gs.eventQueue() with no table

[xiaix]

I'm calling this line of code on the server side of a widget, but the notification never triggers:

gs.eventQueue('group.mgmt.desc.change.request', '', '194dd9a7db176b4050fbff9aae9619ea', 'hello world');

Here is my "When to send":

Here is my "What will it contain":

And here is my event registry record:

And yes, this is checked:

They sys_id I'm passing (194dd9a7db176b4050fbff9aae9619ea) is a group sys_id.

Where are you triggering this gs.eventQueue() from? Can you share that bit of code as well?

The second parameter is required. You can use current, any GlideRecord record, and I believe I've used null on occasion.

Bingo.  Adding "null" worked great.

gs.eventQueue('group.mgmt.desc.change.request', null, '194dd9a7db176b4050fbff9aae9619ea', 'hello world');

For what it's worth, I'd advise against using sys_ids hard coded in script like this. Find a 'maintainable' alternative. In 12 months you (or someone doing your job) won't have a clue what that sys_id is for. Try using a display value, or a property to get that sys_id, or a display value in a property to get the sys_id. It's a couple lines more of code, but it makes maintenance a LOT easier in the future.

I'm not.  I share your concern.  Here's the "real" code:
