Notification Email Scripting - Passing a Variable

[jkail]

Is it possible to pass a variable to a Notification Email Script from the Notification that calls it?

I have the following Notification Email Script:

var gr = new GlideRecord('u_common_email_text');
gr.addQuery('u_active', true);
gr.addQuery('u_name', 'cmn_footer_en');
gr.query();

if (gr.next()) {
template.print(gr.getValue('u_html'));

}

It is called from a Notification using the following statement: ${mail_script:ACME_cmn_footer}

The script looks up a common footer in English ("cmn_footer_en") to display on our English notifications. I would like to have it be more dynamic so that I can pass it the footer text I want it to look up, so that I do not need to create a script in each of the 10 languages we support in our instance.

I was looking to change the call in the calling Notification to something like: ${mail_script:ACME_cmn_footer("cmn_footer_en")}. However, I do not know how to read the value in the script. Is this even possible to do?

In the mail script you could look up the Users Language pref (the User who is receiving the notification)

var theUser = gs.getUser()

  theUser = theUser.getUserByID(emailrecipient);

  var lang = theUser.getLanguage();

'cmn_footer_en' can then be swapped for a variable and calculated dynamically using a switch statement if you know how?

so whatever the users language preferences it will match the correct footer.

If you need the code msg me back and I will see if I can help.

Hi James,

This might be helpful: The event.parm1 and event.parm2 parameters that come from the originating event can also be used within the <mail_script>. To use these, enter event.parm1 or event.parm2 in the mail script.
