Setting the "Content" of a REST message via script

[JJG2]

I have a REST message that sends XML to an endpoint.

I am trying to dynamically set the "Content" of the REST message using a script.

The script I have so far:

try {
    var r = new sn_ws.RESTMessageV2('TEST', 'Default POST');

    var response = r.execute();
    var responseBody = response.getBody();
    var httpStatus = response.getStatusCode();
} catch (ex) {
    var message = ex.message;
}

The XML I am trying to send in this example:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<Data>
  <Record>
    <Action>New_Hire</Action>
    <First_Name>ServiceNow</First_Name>
    <Last_Name>Dev</Last_Name>
    <Business_Title>Developer</Business_Title>
    <Contract_Start_Date>3/30/2022</Contract_Start_Date>
    <Location>Remote</Location>
    <Matrix_Proposed>CW Joe Thompson</Matrix_Proposed>
  </Record>  
</Data>

Here is the REST message:

Hi @JJG ,

With "Content" if you mean body, you can set it using 'setRequestBody' and if you mean Content Type, you can use setRequestHeader'. Try using the below code  - 

var r = new sn_ws.RESTMessageV2('TEST', 'Default POST');

r.setRequestHeader('Content-Type','application/xml'); //pass Content Type here

r.setRequestBody(body);  //body - pass your dynamic request body here

Please mark my answer as correct or helpful if applicable.

Thanks,

Aishwarya

Hi JJG

You can add 'Variable Substituions'(Use Auto generate variables) for the HTTP Method and click on Preview Script Usage button so that the code will be automatically generated for you to use.

sample code:

 try { 
 var r = new sn_ws.RESTMessageV2('Test', 'Post Comments');
 r.setStringParameterNoEscape('origin_record_number','1234');
 r.setStringParameterNoEscape('comment', 'comments');



 var response = r.execute();
 var responseBody = response.getBody();
 var httpStatus = response.getStatusCode();
}
catch(ex) {
 var message = ex.message;
}
