Trigger an Event parm 1 and parm 2 in flow designer

Southsayer — Sat, 03 Dec 2022 12:41:07 GMT

Hi folks,

I have a category field with choices as Apple group, Samsung group, Xiaomi group, Moto group.

Depending upon the choice selected, I need to trigger notification to respective category group.

How can I trigger an event and add their respective group's value in the parm1?

thanks in advance!!!

Hi @Southsayer ,

you don't require event for this.

1. Create a notification and choice condition as changes to Apple group or changes to Samsung group or changes to Xiaomi group or Moto group.

Refer below

2. On Who will receive tab select the assignment group(which contains the group you need to send).

There is not an out of the box action for triggering events in flow designer. You would have to create a custom action with a script step that passes the parameters for gs.eventQueue().

Hi Pavan, actually I have 10 different categories. 3 different schenarios. So, it means, I need to make 30 different notifications. There must be some way to do scripting in (Trigger an event, parm 1 sections).

Do you have any idea about it?

I just looked in my Tokyo PDI and don't have a flow action for this. Can you share the name of the action/screenshot/documentation?

Either way, if you have an action for this available to you in your flow then you should be able to trigger an event.

You could use the 'Create Record' action and create a record on the sysevent table passing whichever values you need to:

Hi,
You can trigger the event from flow using the "Create Record" action on "sysevent" table with the proper input.
