You can create note through formula.

Please create a separate topics. No need to hijacking a topic.

But it is on Workflows. What other way to use Notes? Only via Websockets?

Thanks for answering..

It's not possible to use notes as target entity in bpm.

[rodrigocoelho]

BPM don't give possibility to use Notes (Stream)...
Is that possible?

Thanks

yuri , may you confirm if is possible to use Notes on BPM?

Thanks

Is there some guide which shows how to use variables for such purpose? I couldn't find a way on my own to arrange with variables.

You can use a variable in a payload definition. The variable should be defined before in a script task (in the same BPM flowchart).

You can setup your workflow to run a BPM process. That process will be intended solely for HTTP request handling. In that process variables are set in a script task and then are used in the payload definition.

Not sure if this help: https://docs.espocrm.com/administration/bpm/

But some of those hyperlinks lead to a new page rather than section (hard to tell unless you hover over the URL).

BPM allows using variables.

Hi there,
You can't use Formula in the Payload field. Do you want to send date w/o time part (e.g. w/o 14:50)? As a workaround, you can create a new date type field and push the date from the
'dateStart' field to it by Workflow or Formula. After, use this field in Payload.

I thought about using hidden fields, but it feels so "dirty" doing that trick. I was hoping there would be some way to achieve this better.

I am trying to use a formula function in payload field of the Send HTTP Request action workflow, but it's not working.

{
"text":"Hello World",
"fields":[
    {
        "title":"Start",
       "value":"{date\format($dateStart)}"
   },
   {
       "title":"End",
       "value":"{$dateEnd}"
   }
]
}

I need to use the formula, because otherwise the replaced datetime will be in UTC+0 and it would not be formatted according to settings. Without formatting it would be something like this "2020-07-15 14:50".

Is it possible to achieve datetime formatting somehow in Send HTTP Request payload?
