    What's the difference between API Before-Save Script and Before-save custom script?

    As far as I could understand, both are run before an entity is saved. So, are they similar or entirely different things..?

      It's explained in docs https://docs.espocrm.com/administrat...e-save-script/

      And in the UI.

      If you find EspoCRM good, we would greatly appreciate if you could give the project a star on GitHub. We believe our work truly deserves more recognition. Thanks.

          The API script will run only when you save via the API (that includes saving from the UI). It won't run when a record is saved from workflows, other formula script, from code, etc. This provides the ability to validate a user input or perform access checks.
