Hello,
I have a need to have a user attach a excel spreadsheet to a catalog item and then read the spreadsheet and copy all lines to a custom table. I have figured this out on an inbound action but cant seem to get this to work in workflow.
Any suggestions would be great! Below is what I am doing with inbound actions
I created my data source and transform map and then I run the following code on inbound action
(function runAction(/*GlideRecord*/ current, /*GlideRecord*/ event, /*EmailWrapper*/ email, /*ScopedEmailLogger*/ logger, /*EmailClassifier*/ classifier) {
var importSetTableName = "incentiveloadfinal";
var transformMapIDs = "83106da21b8c91504e7b415dee4bcbd6 "; //Use a comma to specify multiple transform maps
var applicatonScope = "Global";
// Create the datasource record
current.name = "File import from: " + email.from; //Feel free to rename this as appropriate
current.import_set_table_name = importSetTableName;
current.file_retrieval_method = "Attachment";
current.type = "File";
current.format = "Excel"; // For Excel Files
// current.format = "CSV"; // For CSV Files
current.header_row = 1;
current.sheet_number = 1;
current.sys_package.setDisplayValue(applicatonScope);
current.sys_scope.setDisplayValue(applicatonScope);
var dataSourceID = current.insert();
/*
* Schedule Load of Attachment
*
* This inbound email action will generate an import data source, however the attachment isn't copied to the data source until
* after the insert of the record. Scheduling the import to happen 30 seconds later so that attachment has time to be copied.
*/
new global.EmailFileImportUtils().scheduleImport(dataSourceID, transformMapIDs);
})(current, event, email, logger, classifier);
