Get Sys_Id from URL

[Sriker]

Hi,

I'm getting the worknotes from the ScTask. It is returning like 

"04/12/2024 11:17:00 - Name (Work notes)
Link to SLA Definition in Dev:
https://dev.service-now.com/contract_sla_list.do?sysparm_query=sys_idIN8f559dcd85421e5c0b8a85980cbb3..."

Now, I want to get the Sys_Id from the URL in Server side script.

Hi @Sriker ,

I have created a Br to capture the sys_id that has come in the URL present in the work_notes. Please check the script below:

(function executeRule(current, previous /*null when async*/ ) {

    // Add your code here
    var journalGR = new GlideRecord("sys_journal_field");
    journalGR.addQuery("element_id", current.sys_id); // Match the sys_id of the record
    journalGR.addQuery("element", "work_notes"); // Ensure it's the work_notes field
    journalGR.orderByDesc("sys_created_on"); // Order by latest entries
    journalGR.query();
    if (journalGR.next()) {

        //gs.info("Work Note: " + journalGR.value.toString());
        var k = journalGR.value.toString();
        var urlRegex = /sysparm_query=sys_idIN([\w\d]+)/;
        var match = k.match(urlRegex);
        if (match && match[1]) {
            gs.info("Extracted sys_id: " + match[1]);
        } else {
            gs.info("No sys_id found in work notes.");
        }
    }
})(current, previous);

The conditions for this Br to run is "After" "update" and worknotes changes.
I have tried it with the worknotes that you gave and it gave me the correct value of the sys_id in the logs.

Please mark this answer as "Helpful" and "Correct" if it helped you in anyway

Thanks and Regards,
