Hey Suprakash,

Write a INSERT BUSINESS RULE -

var gr = new GlideRecord ('u_candidate_database');

gr.addQuery(Filter_condition);

gr.query();

if(gr.next())

{

var rm = new sn_ws.RESTMessageV2();
       rm.setHttpMethod('GET');
       var url = gs.getProperty("glide.servlet.uri") + current.getTableName()+ '.do?PDF&sys_id=' + current.sys_id;
       rm.setEndpoint(url);
       rm.setBasicAuth(gs.getProperty('glide.user.userid'), gs.getProperty('glide.user.password'));
       rm.saveResponseBodyAsAttachment(gr.getTableName(),gr.sys_id,current.number+".pdf");
       var response = rm.execute(); 

}

Hello Nayan,

I have a similar requirement when ever i fill a form say "Incident" table and all the filled info should be converted into PDF and send attached email to any given user say azeez@example.com

could you please help me out ?

Hey Abdul,

Using above code you can create PDF and attach to the Incident form.

when PDF is attached fire a event which will trigger a NOTIFICATION and on notification there is a checkbox named as INCLUDE ATTACHMENTS.

After event delete the FORM PDF from the INC RECORD.
