Workflow - send notification to an email address in a variable

[Christoffer Lin]

Hi,

I have a record producer (which triggers my workflow) with a "single line text-variable" called emailaddress. 

In my workflow, I want to send a notification to the value entered in the emailaddress-variable.

Is this possible through the Notification-action in my workflow or do I have to create an event which triggers an email notification? If I need to trigger an email notification in the sysevent_email_action table - do I have to use an email script which fetches my variable-value?

Thanks in advance!

Hi, Yes you can do this through the notification activity in a workflow.

Hello,

Looks like you can add directly in Advance section of Notification activity with simple code like below. try once.

Hi @Christoffer Lin 

You can also do this by using notification activity in your workflow.
In your notification activity, just check the Advanced checkbox and then write this script in it.

var emailID=current.variables.emailaddress ;
answer = [emailID];

Hello @Christoffer Lin ,

Yes you can do it in workflow activity.But you might have to write some script to push the notification like below in the advanced section 

var gr = new GlideRecord('sys_user');
gr.addQuery('email',current.variables.your_variable_backend_name);
gr.query();
if(gr.next())
{

answer = gr.sys_id.toString();
}

Hope this helps 

If this helped you mark my answer correct

Thanks
