Send Email Notification with Scheduled Job

[Community Alums]

Hi All,

I have a requirement to send an email notification on a certain day of the month. I am trying to achieve this through an event using a scheduled job.

This is what I have so far in Dev to test this -

Event

Scheduled job

Notification

I believe the issue is with the script for the scheduled job?

Or is there a different/easier way to achieve this?

Any help would be much appreciated.

Thanks,
Alex

It still needs to be tied to a record, that is just the way it is. I understand this is a limitation but this is how you can achieve this.

Since you don't need to include any information of a record, you can use any hardcoded test record to trigger the notifications.

You can pick any small table from your instance,  and just have this code below

var gr = new GlideRecord('<your table name>');

gr.get('<sys_id of any record on that table>');

gs.eventQueue('patching_email', gr, '', '');

Done 🙂

Hi Alex,

If you want to send email for specific condition then try below code

var gr = new GlideRecord("incident");
gr.addQuery(<your query>);
gr.query();
while(gr.next())
gs.eventQueue('patching_email', gr);

or else try below code

var gr = new GlideRecord("incident");
gr.query();
if(gr.next())
gs.eventQueue('patching_email', gr);

HI,

This wont work as scheduled jobs don't have current object.
