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.
