I want to create an event on a page so that when a row is clicked it goes to another page (outside of my application). So Im using the "link to destination" event handler and selecting type "external URL". However, I need to pass a parameter into this URL. So I tried concatenating the url with data binding but that did not work, it looked something like this:
https://service-now.com/$flow-designer.do?sysparm_nostack=true#/operations/context/@payload.sys_id
Does anybody know how you can go about achieving this? The source of the parameter would be one of the fields from the list. You can notice Im trying to create this event under "row clicked"
Solved! Go to Solution.

Unfortunately, you can't combine a string and value with the data binding, but I was able to make this work using the following steps:
In the Link to destination event handler, change the Mode from form to Script.
Use the following in the script box:
/**
* @param {params} params
* @param {api} params.api
* @param {any} params.event
* @param {any} params.imports
*/
function evaluateEvent({api, event}) {
return {
route: null,
fields: null,
params: null,
redirect: null,
passiveNavigation: null,
title: null,
multiInstField: null,
targetRoute: null,
external: {
url: "$flow-designer.do?sysparm_nostack=true#/operations/context/" + event.payload.sys_id
}
};
}
After clicking Apply and saving, when you test you should now get that URL opened in a new tab when clicking on the list.

Hi David, this is currently undocumented, unfortunately. I had to go hunting internally to find an example.

How can I do this with without opening in a new tab? In the Operation Succeeded event of my 'create' data source I want to redirect the user to the newly created record (getting the sysid of the new record from the event payload). I've tried everything I can think of in setting route and params, but I always get The page you are looking for could not be found. I have not been able to find any documentation on setting these values.

Found it here: https://docs.servicenow.com/bundle/sandiego-application-development/page/app-store/dev_portal/API_reference/helpers/concept/helpersAPI.html
I'm not actually using helpers in this context (event handler) but the syntax seems to be the same.
Example redirect:
return {
route: "service-request",
fields: {
"sysId": sysId
},
params: null,...
To anyone else who's been struggling with this: the fields are required params, the params are optional params.
