Suppose I am entering some data in a form of table u_candidate_details and when i submit or save the form a record will be inserted in table u_candidate_database and a pdf attachment will be added on the record that was created on table u_candidate_database . the attachment will be pdf of the form view u_candidate_details

Hey Suprakash,

Write a INSERT BUSINESS RULE -

var gr = new GlideRecord ('u_candidate_database');

gr.addQuery(Filter_condition);

gr.query();

if(gr.next())

{

var rm = new sn_ws.RESTMessageV2();
       rm.setHttpMethod('GET');
       var url = gs.getProperty("glide.servlet.uri") + current.getTableName()+ '.do?PDF&sys_id=' + current.sys_id;
       rm.setEndpoint(url);
       rm.setBasicAuth(gs.getProperty('glide.user.userid'), gs.getProperty('glide.user.password'));
       rm.saveResponseBodyAsAttachment(gr.getTableName(),gr.sys_id,current.number+".pdf");
       var response = rm.execute();

}

I pasted the same code in BR for Incident table, i am getting an email but pdf is getting attached.

Do i need to active any plugins ?

Hey Abdul,

Replace you BR with these -

var rm = new sn_ws.RESTMessageV2();

rm.setHttpMethod('GET');

var url = gs.getProperty("glide.servlet.uri") + current.getTableName()+ '.do?PDF&sys_id=' + current.sys_id;

rm.setEndpoint(url);

rm.setBasicAuth(gs.getProperty('glide.user.userid'), gs.getProperty('glide.user.password'));

rm.saveResponseBodyAsAttachment(current.getTableName(),current.sys_id,current.number+".pdf");

var response = rm.execute();

Note -

Create that property on sys_properties table and userid should be of ADMIN.

I did create that 2 properties earlier it self and USER id is Admin. Changed the code as per your earlier mesage but still pdf is not getting converted and attached in email.
