Advanced conditions for email notifications global variables (event)

[richardhofing]

I am exploring the advanced conditions for email notifications. The documentation states the following:

The advanced condition script uses the following business rule global variables:

• current: contains the current record from the table to which the notification is linked.
• event: contains the event that triggered the notification

current I understand, I tried to find examples that use the event variable but I was not successful. If someone could provide a few examples, that would help me greatly!

richardhofing,

Nice question. The event global variable can be used to retrieve the parameters that are passes in the event. Below is a very simple example. 

Lets say you fired an event from Workflow or via code. Lets say the below code is firing the event test_event

gs.eventQueue('test_event',current,"Test1","Test2"); //eventQueue(name: string, record: GlideRecord, parm1: string, parm2: string, queue: string)

Below is an example of how you can use the event global variable in your advanced condition script

Copy/Paste

var param1= event.parm1;
var param2= event.parm2;

if(param1 == "Test1" && param2=="Test2")
	return true;
else
	return false;

Thank you Aman! That answers my question perfectly.

The previous variable is also available in the advanced condition script.
