Script to generate a pdf file in workflow

[Andrew125]

Hello, 

I am working on an automation process where inputs given in a catalog items are verified and they are used to create a pdf file and send it as an attachment in the notifications.

I have created a workflow to get all the variables and trying to write a runscript to make a pdf file and that file has to be attached and sent.

Any possibility to achieve this via java script.. I dont want to use a powershell custom activity to do this..

Any leads would be helpful.

Thanks,

Andy

First you need to define the content of your pdf. If you want the whole form in PDF and want to attach to record then you can use below sample code.

var rm = new sn_ws.RESTMessageV2();
rm.setHttpMethod('GET');
var url = gs.getProperty("glide.servlet.uri") + current.getTableName()+ '.do?PDF&sys_id=' + current.sys_id;
rm.setEndpoint(url);
// Create new properties and save user id and password of an admin account
rm.setBasicAuth('admin', 'adminPassword');
rm.saveResponseBodyAsAttachment(current.getTableName(),current.getUniqueValue(),current.number+".pdf");
var response = rm.execute();

Then you can create a notification on the same table and check the include attachment on the notification.

Hope it helps.
