Notification advanced condition script, only send when user is part of a

[Bart Jan Bultma]

Im kicking off a event from a scheduled job that checks for a users end date daily. If the end date is today, it should send a notification to our ServiceDesk. This part works.

In the Notification I am adding an advanced condition that should only send the notification if the user that is on its end date is a member of a specific group in ServiceNow. I am using the code below but it always returns false and does not send the notification.

var groupMember = gs.getUser();

if(groupMember.isMemberOf('GROUPNAME'))
{
    answer = true;
} 
else 
{
    answer = false;
}

The notification is on table sys_user. I tried this code aswell but it doesnt seem to work for me. I think I have something set up wrong that is making the code always return false or always return true, regardless of the groups that users are in.

@Bart Jan Bultman - Could you please try with the below code if the notification is on table sys_user. 

Note:

1. Assuming you are trying to trigger notification for the user record. 

2. Change the variable group_name value and use the code.

var group_name = "Please set your group name here to check";
var user_sys_id = current.sys_id;
var userOb = new GlideUser().getUserByID(user_sys_id);

if (userOb.isMemberOf(group_name)) {
    answer = true;
} else {
    answer = false;
}

I am not quite sure why, but making the group name into a variable and then using it solved it! This works exactly as wanted!

Thank you for your help.
