Workflow Notification Activity vs Notification

[MStritt]

On a regular Notification, I get a 'Users/Groups in fields' pick list where I can select a field off the RMR.

On the Notification Activity on the Workflow, I don't see/get it. Is this something I can add? I'm not able to navigate to a specific field (value) on the RMR where I want the email to be sent to.

According to the ServiceNow Docs, you need to use the Advanced checkbox and the use the To (script) to populate the To field based on a table field. There is not User/Groups in fields in Notification Workflow Activity

Thanks Sanjiv. 

Do you know how I need to configure the script, to use the value of u_st_email?

You can use answer = current.u_st_email;

But yes, as suggested by Mark, it is not recommended to use Workflow notification. You can use the Create Event activity instead and create an event Registry record and map the registry record to a notification.

Sanjiv,

Would this be how it should be configured? Doesn't seem to be working.

// Set the variable 'answer' to a comma-separated list of user or group sys_ids that you want the email sent to.

if (current.u_st_email.sys_id.toString()) {
    answer = current.u_st_email;
}
