Can we call Events from client side? 

[Ganesh Pardhe]

hello  mallikharjunaswamyvutla,

You can't trigger email notification from client side scripts. As best practice have your Glide-Ajax as Asynchronous so that browser won't wait till the script include function returns something and email will get triggered in back end.

Thanks and regards,

Ganesh

Hello mallikharjunaswamyvutla,

No, We can not trigger events from client side But we can do it by calling script include by using glideAjax call from client script. In Script include, we can call server side API's.

The eventQueue() method is part of the GlideSystem server-side API. The eventQueue() method inserts an event in an event queue. The eventQueue() method is typically passed four parameters but can also take an optional 5th parameter:

eventQueue(String name, Object instance, String parm1, String parm2, String queue)

Queues an event for the event manager.

Parameter(s):

Name	Type	Description
name	String	Name of the event being queued.
instance	Object	GlideRecord object, such as "current".
parm1	String	(Optional) Saved with the instance if specified.
parm2	String	(Optional) Saved with the instance if specified.
queue	String	Name of the queue.

1. Event name: Enclose the event name in quotes.
2. GlideRecord object, typically current but can be any GlideRecord object from the event's table. or you can pass gr object if you are doing glideRecord and then calling event.
3. Any value that resolves to a string. This is known as parm1 (Parameter 1). Can be a string, variable that resolves to a string, or method that resolves to a string.
4. Any value that resolves to a string. This is known as parm2 (Parameter 2). Can be a string, variable that resolves to a string, or method that resolves to a string.
5. (Optional) Name of the queue to manage the event.
   
   

The logic that responds to an event has access to the passed in GlideRecord object, parm1, and parm2.

Hi,

It is not possible to trigger events from client side directly. But you can call a SI, which can trigger a event. 

Could you let me know the use case that you are working on, may be i can help you based on that.

Mark the comment as helpful and correct answer if it helps.
