How to capture page URL using a UI Action/ declarative action?

[pranay_14]

I am on the record page within the workspace and have added a button. When the button is clicked, I want to capture the current page URL.

Specifically, I need to extract the sysID parameter from the URL:

URL Format:
<Instance Id>/now/mfg/isa-equipment-model/params/sys-id/<sysID>/selected-tab-index/4/sub/record/<table-name>/<record-sysId>

Try using the below function- 

function getSysId() {
var sysId = NOW.url.getParsedQuery().sys_id;
if (sysId) {
console.log("sysID:", sysId);
alert("sysID: " + sysId);
return sysId;
} else {
console.error("sysID not found");
alert("sysID not found");
return null;
}
}

How This Works

- NOW.url.getParsedQuery() extracts URL parameters in ServiceNow Workspace.

- It directly retrieves the sys_id without needing to manually parse the URL.

- Much cleaner and OOB-supported compared to using window.location.href.

How to Use This in Your Button

1. If you are adding a UI Action button in a ServiceNow Workspace, set the onClick function to:

getSysId();

2. If you are using a Client Script, you can trigger this function when needed.
