Workflows can be triggered based on a value in a custom field on the object using a browser script. The workflow id is passed to the system from the script.
This procedure is for use within the UTA only.
Syntax
- _triggerwf(objectid,workflowid,[entityid (l2 only)]);
You must first create the workflow. Once it has been created you need to find the workflow ID (wfid) as follows:
- From the list view of Workflows right-click on the appropriate workflow and select Properties.
- The URL/Address displayed will have the wfid:
http://youraddress.smartsimple.com/WFE2/wf_viewworkflow.jsp?wfid=98765
For the above example the workflow ID is 98765
In the browser script you would use triggerwf with the following syntax:
Level 1: _triggerwf(@opportunityid@,workflowid);
- Example:
_triggerwf(@opportunityid@,98765);
Level 2: _triggerwf(@eventid@,workflowid,26);
- Example:
_triggerwf(@eventid@,98765,26);
(26 is the objecttype for Level 2 activities, and will be the same for all Level 2 workflows)
NOTE: For workflows triggered by a Browser Script within a UTA you should set Trigger When to --Deactivate-- rather than selecting a Status.
