How to create new task through script?

Hi,

My requirement is when any user profile is inactive in users table then it should create one task.

Can anyone help me to create task through business rule or script include?

Thanks In Advance!

Hi there,

What exactly do you mean task function seems not to be right, do you get an error? Have you directly checked the sc_task table to check if the record is created?

If I execute below code in background script it immediately works. So the GlideRecord query should be oke.

checkApp();

function checkApp() {
	createTask();
}

function createTask() {
	var task = new GlideRecord('sc_task');
	task.initialize();
	task.short_description = 'something';
	task.insert();
	
}

Please mark my answers as helpful, as they are helping you find a way to a nice solution.

Kind regards,
Mark

Oooo wait... what about the gs.addInfoMessage? Can you remove this? And just after there's a "gslog()"... without a dot > gs.log
