Hi all! I am really struggling with this action. I am trying to send JSON data to a REST web service. JSON string is generated by a business rule, which contains a JSON Query (FOR JSON). Testing this business rule works fine, also umlauts are shown. My configuration in request body is body type: Binary, which is the only way to send dynamic JSON data. Somehow my encoding (which should be UTF-8) gets lost. I am sending Content-Type:application/json in binary part headers, my ass (...)

Hello all, I have an item list where I want to display some column color based on the value that will be the outcome of 2 dates. I would like something like if it's zero, the column should be green, if it's between 0 and 30 days, it should be yellow and if more than 31 days, it should be red. I'm trying to use this, but it's not working: if ('{SFD:-4}' = 0) select '#90EE90' if ('{SFD:-4}' > 0 or '{SFD:-4}' <= 30) select '#FFFACD' else ('{SFD:-4}' > =31) select '#FF6347' I've al (...)

Hello, I configured the action "Send a custom email" to send email: - Direct -> Dynamic: field - Author - CC -> Dynamic: field - choose substitute When i send email, i receive the email without CC: person showing, and the person in CC receives the email, but there is not showing the person in To: Is it a bug or i did not configure it right? My field "choose substitute" is a Person or group. In 2nd scenario, i configured this field to allow multiple selection. When i added 2 people (...)

Even if I granted in AZ Tasks.ReadWrite permission, When I'm trying to configure action Designer is not showing the connection to Exchange Online. How it should be set up?

Hi all! We are using the action 'Invoke REST Web service' a lot, but there are some limitations I am struggling with. I want to download an Excel file using this action, using an external REST service. My first approach was to store the response body into a multi-line content field. I am also using a HTML field with a download button, to save this file from content field to disk. This method is working very good with plain/text. After saving file from Content field to disk, Excel (...)

Hello everyone, for a new idea i have in mind, it would be great, if there would be an easy build-in way to anonymize all form fields of an instance, which are marked as "Data Type - Personal data" in the Personal data storage (Style and behavior TAB). As far as i tested, there is always the need for a "Personal Data Dictonary", when using the action "REMOVE PERSONAL DATA". QUESTION 1: Is there any other way? QUESTION 2: Is there any build-in option to anonymize the AUTHOR too? Th (...)

Hello, I'm trying to update (preferred) or add a new attachment from a custom SDK action but have been unable to do so. The action reads the contents of a word attachment and makes changes to the content and should then update the attachment. Reading the attachment works fine but updating or adding a new one does not seem to work. Is there any complete and working sample code for updating/adding attachments from a custom SDK action available? thanks!

Hi everyone, I've been trying to establish a connection to a SOAP API, action seems to be configured the right way (it only tries to connect and log in). When I run path with the action, the error is displayed in Polish "Wystąpił wewnętrzny problem wywołania webserwisu. Szczegóły błędu zostały zapisane w logu." (Internal webservice error. Details have been written in the log). Well... the problem is I can't figure out what log? Not in the WFActionExecutions table as I checked there, so where? C (...)

Hi there. Has anybody here experience to work with Webcon and MS Planner hand in hand? I saw that there is an API for Planner, that lets me hope that I could connect the two. Kind regards Klaus

Hi everybody, since yesterday I get an error when I create a custom email in action templates. Error: Error sending mail: Index (zero based) must be greater than or equal to zero and less than the size of the argument list. It happens when I use the action in a process AND when I hit the "Send test mail" button in the action itself. Does anyone have a solution? webcon version is 2022_1_3 Best regards, Lutz

Hi, We have a requirement for adding scanned signatures to pdf documents we generate. There are multiple possible signatures that must be added based on the person selected during the workflow (a responsible person). What would be a secure way of adding these "pictures" or scans of signatures to the generated pdf? One option we tried was creating a form field, that generated a URL with the path to the image of the signature based on the person selected as a responsible person, but this solu (...)

Hi, Is it possible to include the comments field into a pdf generated based on a template? So like you can include various form fields by creating a tag e.g. {WFD_AttText1}, is there such a code for the comments field? And will it work if we include it in a template to generate pdfs? Thanks!

Hi all! We want to execute a JSON query on a path (actually it is some business rule containing SQL query) and send these results to an external endpoint (REST service). The problem is that the query does not reflect current changes in form, since this happens on save. This should be related to database transaction and current values which are not persisted at this moment. Is there even a way to handle this scenario properly in Webcon? We have a dictionary process, so there is no (...)

Hi, What would be the best way to generate pdfs that would contain different images (for example logos), based on a form field? I was thinking of two ways: -Create a couple of different document templates with pictures already inserted and dynamically select template based on the other field value(s). -Insert picture into a image form field during the workflow and then insert the picture into the document with the generate word document action (this would not be a good solution, since (...)

Hi, I tried to add a field from the process in the word template but I get the error from the attachment. I tried with another field from the same process and it works. I used webcon version 2022.1.4.127 Thank you, Raluca Lupu

Hi, are any of you using the AD action that allows you to add/remove users from a group? Maybe I`m missing something, but I can't get the action to remove a user from a group to work. The add user to group action works fine, but when deleting, the log says that user is not a member of selected group. I tried with different groups, making sure that users are synchronized, and even for testing purposes used domain admin account in the AD actions configuration, but without success. Does this (...)
