Run business rule for Integration and not for all cases

[Community Alums]

I have a business rule written on Incident table. I want this to be executed only when you hit via integration (REST API) . I don't want to run this business rule when you create or update record on Incident form directly (User Interface).

I see a Condition box in Advanced tab of the business rule, how can i achieve this functionality.

Hi Karthik,

I do not know your integration, but just a possible solution: if you have only one system user account that is writing to incidident via REST, you could probably use "sys_created_by" or "sys_updated_by" in you condition.

Best regards

Thanks for the response Bazanov, my Business rule runs on Before condition. "sys_created_by" or "sys_updated_by" could be anything in my case. I just want this business rule to execute only for integration (Webservices, REST API, SOAP etc..)

And I would create a group and add this REST accounts to this group and than write a condition to check if the user is within the group. It may be extendible for future.
