Notification to(script) in workflow

[rody-bjerke]

Hi,

I'm trying to script who should get an email notification from the system, through workflow.

I've created a Notification activity like below:

Then i want to send an email to requested_for (reference to sys_user), requested_for is a variable so i've tried adding:

current.variables.requested_for

At the same time i want to send the same mail to the requested_for's manager. The manager is set in a seperate field, so i've tried using:

current.variables.manager.

Any idea on how to use this TO (Script) to make it work?

Best regards,

To (script)

If Advanced is selected, this script is called and should set the variable answer to a comma-separated list of user or group sys_ids that you want to add as recipients of the email.

It should be something like:

answer=current.variables.VAR_NAME;

Hello Rody,

You can achieve this without scripting from the workflow notification activity using "dot-walking" method.

you can click on "select field " and use dot walking as follows:

1) Request--> Requested For

2) Request--> Requested For-->Manager

Hi Guarav,

using the 'select fields' dot walking method doesn't seem to work for me. if i use a field from that the email doesn't fire at all. However if i enter a specific email address or select a specific user it does fire the email. Any idea why that could be? I'm working off the Catalog Task (sc_task) table. Does that make a difference?

thanks,

denise

Solution: (where you can add answer.push for both user and manager):

answer = [];

answer.push(current.variables.manager.sys_id);
