Adding the author name to the subject line of the email via mail script

[lando321]

Hello all,

I am trying to update the km_approval mail script's subject line to include the author's name.

(function runMailScript(/* GlideRecord */ current, /* TemplatePrinter */ template,
          /* Optional EmailOutbound */ email, /* Optional GlideRecord */ email_action,
          /* Optional GlideRecord */ event) {
	
	var obj = new KBKnowledge().getNotificationObject(current);
	var emailContent = {};
	emailContent.templateContent = 
		"Hi  "+obj.approver+",<br/>" + 
	"<br/>" +
	"<a href="+obj.article_link+">"+obj.number+"</a> is awaiting approval.<br/>" +
	"<br/>" +
	"<b>Article Title</b>: "+obj.short_desc+"<br/>" +
	"<br/>" +
	"Please review the article and <a href="+obj.approval_link+">Approve/Reject</a>	it<br/>" +
	"<br/>";	
	email.setSubject(obj.author+"has submitted"+ obj.number+" is awaiting approval.");
	template.print(emailContent.templateContent);
	
})(current, template, email, email_action, event);

 I have tried current.author, event.author, and email,author. Is there a specific way i need to access the object being called? Any insight would be greatly appreciated!

Your current object is a sysapproval_approver gliderecord (You can see this by checking the table field of your notification). So you need to go to the kba from there.

Add:

var author;

var grKnowledge = new GlideRecord('kb_knowledge');

if(grKnowledge.get(current.document_id))

author = grKnowledge.author.getDisplayValue();

else

author = 'Someone';
