How to trigger event using background script.

[HrishabhKumar]

Issue : 

an email notification is not getting triggered, it's trigger condition is set when a particular event triggers. so we need to trigger the event to trigger this notification

Requirement:

For testing purpose I want to trigger the event using script in background script if it is possible.

suppose event name is : my.event.name

param1: should be list of sys_ids in string format.

how can I trigger the event in the background script, using gs.eventQueue('my.event.name',......);

Thanks in advance.

Hello,

Something like this needs to be done.

var eventName = 'event_name';
var sysIds = ['sys_id_1', 'sys_id_2', 'sys_id_3'];
var sysIdsString = sysIds.join(',');

gs.eventQueue(eventName, current(of you notif object), sysIdsString, null);

Let me know if that is what you were looking for,

Hi @HrishabhKumar 

To trigger an event in the background script using gs.eventQueue, you can pass the required parameters to the function. Here's an example of how you could do it:

// sys_id list in string format (assuming it's a comma-separated list of sys_ids)
var param1 = "sys_id1,sys_id2,sys_id3";

// Converting the string into an array of sys_ids
var sysIdArray = param1.split(',');

// Assuming we are triggering the event for each sys_id in the list
for (var i = 0; i < sysIdArray.length; i++) {
var sysId = sysIdArray[i];

// You need to pass a GlideRecord or any object as the second parameter.
// If it's for a specific table, you can retrieve the record.
var gr = new GlideRecord('your_table_name'); // Replace 'your_table_name' with the actual table
if (gr.get(sysId)) {
gs.eventQueue('my.event.name', gr, param1);
gs.info('Event triggered for sys_id: ' + sysId);
}
}

Explanation:

1. param1 is a string containing a comma-separated list of sys_ids.
2. split(',') is used to convert the string into an array of sys_ids.
3. gs.eventQueue('my.event.name', gr, param1); is where the event is triggered. The first parameter is the event name, the second is the GlideRecord, and additional parameters can be passed afterward.
4. Looping over the sys_ids ensures that the event is triggered for each sys_id.
