How to get variables from a record producer to send an automated email

[Jeffrey Siegel]

I am very new to the Service Now administration.

im trying to send an email to one of my vendors when certain values are selected on my record producer form.

then i want to take other values from my record producer and send it in a formatted email to the vendor.  without them getting all the information.  i would say 90% of my variables in my record producer go into the description field in the resulting ticket, but the vendor I have doesn't need all of that, which is what is making this endeavor harder for me.  

is anyone able to help me get started on how to do this,  ive seen a few questions like this on the forums, but they are way ahead of where i am at.  I pick up on these things quickly, so any guidance getting started would be highly appreciated.

I was able to get this to work with help from this post: https://community.servicenow.com/community?id=community_question&sys_id=fcff3be9db66fbc02be0a851ca961904

Sample of the code that worked for me:

In Record Producer:

var EmailData = {"Date" : DateField, "Position" : PositionInfoField, "ReportedBy" : ReportedByField, "Description" : DescriptionField, "Subj1" : Subject1Field, "Subj2" : Subject2Field};

var parser = new JSON();
var notificationContent = parser.encode(EmailData);

gs.log('JSON object:' + notificationContent);
gs.eventQueue('EmailEvent',current , notificationContent , '');

in Email Script:

(function runMailScript(/* GlideRecord */ current, /* TemplatePrinter */ template,
          /* Optional EmailOutbound */ email, /* Optional GlideRecord */ email_action,
          /* Optional GlideRecord */ event) {

          // Add your code here

var jsonObject=event.parm1;
	
	// Parsing JSON object:
	
	var obj = JSON.parse(jsonObject);
	
	
	template.print(obj.Date+"<br>");
	template.print(obj.Position+"<br>");
	template.print(obj.ReportedBy+"<br>");
	template.print(obj.Description+"<br>");

	// Set Subject in resulting email
	email.subject =obj.Subj1+" - "+ obj.Subj2;
	

})(current, template, email, email_action, event);
