UI Action

[Andrew112]

Hello, I made a UI Action in order to create a notification in ServiceNow to basically generate an award and send it to the nominee of that award.

The code looks like this:

current.u_award_winner_notification_sention  = true;
gs.eventQueue("wingsawardfire", current, gs.getUserID(), current.u_name);
current.update();
gs.addInfoMessage("Notification Email Sent")

But unfortunately it is not working... What am I doing wrong

What I would like it to do is, I made a checkbox on table XXXX, (which is where this UI action resides) I would like it to check the checkbox, then create a new event which triggers the new notifications (it is set to trigger by opening that event) then email the person in parm2 (current.u_name) with the award notification email, then show that the notification was sent.

No error... the event was created sorry i see it now in the event log:

No notification came to my inbox though... weird.

I just put nominee.email to see if that will work? I dunno. I'll let you know if that makes a difference

Hey @Andrew112,

Can you see the event coming in the event log, and are all fields filled as expected?
Since the recipient is available in the current object, I wouldn't set the recipient by parameter, but just choose that field in the notification.

No I cannot see the event being created, and the checkbox isnt being filled.. thats why I am unsure what I did wrong.

Can you share a screenshot of your UI Action?

Sure... I just set the recipient as the nominee in the notification so it is not using parm2 as the recipient and this point.
