Actions
Hi all! We want to add some rows to an item list with 'Change item lists values' action. The SQL query should take a JSON array (which is perfectly valid) from UI element and return a table for adding new rows to this item list. Unfortunately this does not work. There seems to be some parsing on Webcon side, which eliminates all elements in the JSON array, apart from the separator, which results in SQL error (JSON text is not properly formatted. Unexpected character ...). The attache (...)
Hi, I am trying to move multiple related child instances through an action. I tried doing that with the “Move workflow (SQL)” action. The query I used can be found in the Attachments. The table I get also looks fine, but I still get the Error "Incorrect column PATH_ID format". I already checked all of the IDs, they should all be fine. I used the following thread as a reference: https://alterpaths.com/wait-for-sub-workflows-step-advanced-configuration/ Does anyone have a clue what might be (...)
Hi, has anyone encountered problems with Invoke Sopar service action after upgrading to version 2022.1..1.53? We forgot to test the functionality immediately after the upgrade (due to some issues with the license) so rollback is not an option…. We are gathering data from the national registry of companies when registering a new partner into our system with the action. In 2022 we just receive the following error »Object reference not set to an instance of an object.« I can not find anything in (...)
Hello community! Maybe this is a very basic question, but I am asking it anyway ;-) I tried out OnTimeOut action, but after some experiments it is very unclear to me, how this is expected to work. I added one time out action with Type: Minute, Interval (minutes): 1, Repetition count: Infinite and 1 action below which basically changes the value of a single field. My expectation was, that this field change should happen on every workflow element every minute, but this didn't happen. What di (...)
Hello, Is there a way to send "High priority(importance)" emails using default WebCon actions? If not, can I use something else? Thanks, Dan Popescu
Hello all! I have a process where the user will be entering Addresses and I'm saving the new entries in a Dictionary. I have the subworkflow set up and it's working but I need to add some rules in order to not create duplicates neither empty rows. For my case, the information to be checked will be Customer Name and Address (because a customer name can have more than one address). I was trying to follow the query below but I'm not sure on how to add the dictionary there (in the database d (...)
I try to add attachments from other flow using standard Action add attachment ... in theory is working: https://community.webcon.com/posts/post/the-add-attachment-action/156/18 or https://docs.webcon.com/docs/2023R3/Studio/Action/Attachments/Action_AddAttachment but not in my case :/ and I don't know why ... "Wystąpił błąd wykonania akcji Dodaj załącznik na przycisk w menu. Błąd wykonania akcji typu dodaj załącznik: Dodaj załącznik. Object reference not set to an instance of an ob (...)

Hi, I'm starting sub-workflow instances from item list. I would like to save sub-workflow instance ID to the related column of item list. I'm using automation having FOR EACH and Start sub-workflow action. All i can see is the possibility to save subworkflow ID to the form field, not item list columns. Is there a better way than having another action updating item list with the IDs?
Hello, At the moment I've split up a bigger project into smaller pieces so I can test out everything I need separately. I'm trying to add a new attachment to an instance using this API /api/data/v4.0/db/{dbid}/elements/{id}/attachments. I have 2 fields into this form: contentBASE64 and fileName. All I'm trying to do is to use these values from my fields together with the API action so I end up with an instance in a final state having an attachment into attachemnts section. I have alre (...)
Hello, I'm configuring a clone feature for nested workflows, and i need to copy attachments from parent workflow to new parent, and from child elements to new children. Something like this: -Parent --Child --Child -NewParent --NewChild1 --NewChild2 It's easy to copy Parent attachments - I'm starting parent with `Start a subworkflow` action, which has `Copy attachments to subworkflow` option - this works great. This is the first step I have in my automation. Unfortunately Categ (...)
Hi! We are in the process of upgrading from 2017 to 2021 - testing phase. I have a problem with the visibility and requirement rules for fields in an item list, when the contents of one cell affect the behavior of another cell in the same row. The existing rules do not work. What is wrong?
Hello. I have a subworkflow here I copy the content of an item list of the parent WF (change item list values). That works fine, but the attachment I have in parent item list I don't get copied/moved/linked. Has anybody an idea? Kind regards Klaus
I am trying to write a SQL statement to start a workflow but the data source needs to be a SQL data source rather than the Webcon database. I have defined the SQL data source (ConnectWise Companies) and it is working OK. I think the problem is what do I use in the "From" part of my SQL statement. If I omit the From part, when I test my query it does not recognise the column names and says "Invalid column name Company ID, Invalid Column name GroupID" I have tried using the Objects tab in the (...)
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 (...)
Hello, I am trying to create a list in SP. I created a Sharepoint template, but i don't understand those 3 template options: Static, Dynamic, Form field. I attached some screenshots. In screeshot called Template, that's how i setup Action template. In screenshot 'Action' that's how i setup the action - Create a list. When i run i get error: Error in On path action Create a list. (Step: Start, path: Sharepoint) List template not found. Can you help? Thank you.
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
Hello, how to set an attachment as required on a workflow form?
Hi, I use process level constants when I need to generate MS Word attachments. This gives me consistency when transferring processes between DEV / TEST / PROD. I don't have to think about replacing the name /DOCTEMP/f8e86bc...e967af9b62 with another guid in appropriate action. The same I wanted to do for generating MS Excel attachments. Unfortunately I get the error: WebCon.WorkFlow.Common.Exceptions.WorkFlowException: An (name) action execution error on a menu button occurred. ---> System.Net. (...)
