Passing argument from workflow event activity to Script action

[veeresh3]

Hi All,

Thanks for reading this.

I want to pass variable value from   workflow event activity to Script action for processing and getting the dynamic values for the my code.

for example: (Assumned that i have one variable in item)While Event activity occurs in the workflow,it call the script action script(Now i am using static data to process).Now i want to send the dynamic variable values to script action.

And how to set that passed varibale value in the below URL.

https://dhcp-manager.net.hban.us/wapi/v1.4.1/ipv4address?network=10.180.100.0/27&ip_address=10.180.1...

in the above URL the 10.180.100.0   is the static value. i want replace that value with my variable value.

I hope i made it clear here.

Please help me to resolve.

Thanks in Advence.

Thanks,

Veeresh

I may be off base here, but how can I grab a variable's data for the current object?

You're not off-base. If the current object is an RITM, you can access its variables via the following syntax:

var myVar = current.variables.myVariable;

Where 'myVariable' is the name of your variable. If the variable stores a sys_id, you may use the getDisplayValue() function to retrieve its human-readable value:

var myVar = current.variables.myVariable.getDisplayValue();

And by returning my sys_id's name into the variable, I can then return that variable into Parameter 1 of my "Create Event" properties in my workflow, to bring across to my notification firing off the new event?

Edit: Tried it, that is indeed working. The sys_id for the user is allowing the email to send to the right person. If I now wanted to embed a sysparm value into a URL for the email that is firing, does that have to be done in a mailscript, or can it be done directly in the email notification? Do you have an idea how can I can parse my current workflow's variables back into that URL? Ideally I wanted to pull a "new hire name" variable, put it into the URL that is heading to an order guide, then use a script to parse that info from the URL and fill it into a field on a new order guide/catalog item.

Hi Andrew,

Can we use the same logic for triggering event using Business rule and script action .

How is the update to URL done .
