How to call flow designer action from OnSubmit client Script

[JRY]

Hello,

From the Onsubmit Client script, I'm trying to trigger the Flow Designer action. But it is not working.
As you can see from the code below, I'm trying to call a flow designer action, and based on the output, if output is true, I need to send an error message and stop from submitting the request, and if output is false, it can submit the request. However, the code below is not working. Can somebody tell me what went wrong in the code below?

function onSubmit() {
    //Type appropriate comment here, and begin script below
    (function() {
        var userID = g_form.request_For.sys_id;
        var denyInternet = 'DENYINTERNETACCESS.LG';
        var phising = 'PHISHING.DIA';
        var inputs = {};
        inputs['user_sys_id'] = userID; // String 
        inputs['group_name'] = denyInternet, phising; // String 

        GlideFlow.startAction('x_iem_iam.privisusermemberofgroup', inputs)
            .then(function(execution) {
                return execution.awaitCompletion();
            }, errorResolver)
            .then(function(completion) {
                var status = completion.status;
                // Available Outputs:
                var outputs = completion.outputs;
                var ismemberofgroup = outputs['ismemberofgroup']; // True/False
                if (ismemberofgroup == false) {
                    return true;
                } else {
                    g_form.addErrorMessage('You are part of the Phishing group which restricts access to internet. Please contact the CyberSecurity team for additional details');
                    return false;
                }
            });

        function errorResolver(error) {
            // Handle errors in error resolver

        }
    })();
}

Thanks,

Hi,

why not use GlideAjax to validate this?

Hi @Ankur Bawiskar 

Sorry for the late reply. I didn't get you. As per my understanding, do I need to call flow action on script include and call script include from the Onsubmit client script right?

Hi Ankur,

Can you please help me what needs to be change on below code

Client side:

function onSubmit() {
    //Type appropriate comment here, and begin script below
    (function() {
        var userID = g_form.requested_for;
        var phising = ['DENYINTERNETACCESS.LG', 'PHISHING.DIA'];
        var inputs = {};
        inputs['user_sys_id'] = userID; // String 
        inputs['group_name'] = phising; // String 

        GlideFlow.startAction('x_iem_iam.privisusermemberofgroup', inputs)
            .then(function(execution) {
                return execution.awaitCompletion();
            }, errorResolver)
            .then(function(completion) {
                var status = completion.status;
                // Available Outputs:
                var outputs = completion.outputs;
                var ismemberofgroup = outputs['ismemberofgroup']; // True/False
                if (ismemberofgroup == false) {
                    return true;
                } else {
                    g_form.addErrorMessage('You are part of the Phishing group which restricts access to internet. Please contact the CyberSecurity team for additional details');
                    return false;

                }
            }, errorResolver());

        function errorResolver(error) {
            // Handle errors in error resolver
            console.error(error);
        }
    })();
}

Server side:

(function() {
	
	try {
		var inputs = {};
		inputs['user_sys_id'] = ; // String 
		inputs['group_name'] = ; // String 

		// Start Asynchronously: Uncomment to run in background. Code snippet will not have access to outputs.
		// sn_fd.FlowAPI.getRunner().action('x_iem_iam.privisusermemberofgroup').inBackground().withInputs(inputs).run();
				
		// Execute Synchronously: Run in foreground. Code snippet has access to outputs.
		var result = sn_fd.FlowAPI.getRunner().action('x_iem_iam.privisusermemberofgroup').inForeground().withInputs(inputs).run();
		var outputs = result.getOutputs();

		// Get Outputs:
		// Note: outputs can only be retrieved when executing synchronously.
		var ismemberofgroup = outputs['ismemberofgroup']; // True/False
		
	} catch (ex) {
		var message = ex.getMessage();
		gs.error(message);
	}
	
})();
