Approval Template - Out of box setup

I got a complaint from a user that the approval notification they get has changed and doesn't contain enough information like it did previously.

I started to look through the email logs and can see there is a custom event that was created with a custom notification, but not sure how it was fired

There is an old notification named

CPX - Approval Request

This is what I see - first pic

This sends out an email that has the following - second pic


I looked up the request that it came from, and I don't see anything odd

the flow is simple - ask for approval - third pic


Now since I started building flows, it looks like the ask for approval is using a different template

its firing off an approval on the sys approval table

but with a different Event occuring - forthpic

 

Trying to figure out why one goes to one event and the new ones go to a different event

 

Any ideas?

Hi @BrianS344076034 

 

Did you check whether you have any BR is in place on sysapprover_approval table on insert which is calling your second event using gs.eventQueue() method (event name will be mentioned there).

yeah nothing there either

There are few things the previous admin did that are a little funky.  I was able to create a new template and set it to be used on the new forms that seems to be working now

Hi @BrianS344076034 

 

Just check Script incude, Schedule script execution script (if it run frequently)  as well  to check if it is calling your second event using gs.eventQueue() methodwhere .

 

Also is your catalog having any associated workflow (legacy). if yes check the workflow - if any event has been trigger from there.

 

Just check all possible places. 😐
