Need to Capture API Response when Message has "Successful" or "Failed" in body.

[Allen12]

I need to get the response from the body of "SUCCESS" or "FAILURE" so I can use the conditions to allow for split actions.

This is what we have so far.  It gives a response if communication fails, but I want a response when the transaction fails.

Here is the output log:

Hi Allen, at line 32 you can insert a new line and capture response in log what you receive after execute, or in catch block you can log same response in log as you just now captures error message. Hope this will help.

Hi,

you can use status code if is 200 set success else you can set as failure.

Like this if (status ==200){

activity.result= "Success";     

}

else{

activity.result= "Failure";

}

OR Just understand below and make necessary changes to implement your requirement.

or share your full requirement I will help you on this.

(function process( /*RESTAPIRequest*/ request, /*RESTAPIResponse*/ response) {

    this.status = '200';
    var respObj = {}; //declare the response object
    var payload = request.body.data;  //retrieving the JSON body
    var number = payload.number;  //getting the  number from JSON
    var callerid = payload.callerid;
    var state = payload.state;
    var category = payload.category;
    var impact = payload.impact;
    var urgency = payload.urgency;
    var short_description = payload.short_description;
    var description = payload.description;

    var grinc = new GlideRecord("incident");
    grinc.addQuery("number", number);
    grinc.query();
    if (grinc.next()) { // To update data on the existing incidents

        grinc.caller_id = callerid;
        grinc.state = state;
        grinc.category = category;
        grinc.impact = impact;
        grinc.urgency = urgency;
        grinc.short_description = short_description;
        grinc.description = description;
        grinc.update();
        this.status = '200';
        respObj.body = {
            "message": "Updation Success!",
            "detail": "Incident " + grinc.number + " updated successfully"
        };
    } else if (callerid) { //create incident if  when callerid is not empty

        grinc.initialize();
        grinc.caller_id = callerid;
        grinc.state = state;
        grinc.category = category;
        grinc.impact = impact;
        grinc.urgency = urgency;
        grinc.short_description = short_description;
        grinc.description = description;
        grinc.insert();

        this.status = '200';
        respObj.body = {
            "message": "Creation Success!",
            "detail": "Incident " + grinc.number + " created successfully"
        };

    } else { //ignore the creation if there is no caller info
        this.status = '400';
        respObj.body = {
            "message": "Incident Ignored",
            "detail": "Caller email is not received from Request"
        };

    }

    if (this.status == '200') {
        response.setBody(respObj);
        response.setStatus(this.status);
        return response;
    } else {
        var setError= new sn_ws_err.ServiceError();  //this API used to set the custom error messages
        setError.setStatus(this.status);
        setError.setMessage(respObj.body.message);
        setError.setDetail(respObj.body.detail);
        return setError;
    }

})(request, response);

Hope you got my point.

Please Mark ✅ Correct/Helpful if applicable, Thanks!!

Here is the code I adjusted,  The request is successfully being submitted, but when it fails, I still get "Success".

can something like this be added to capture the failure?  if so how?  I tried the code but it got stuck when it ran.
