UpdateIncident Message

The UpdateIncident Message is an update type message that sends updates to the bonded record.

Again, after clicking the 'Messages' icon, you are directed to the following screen (note: the four previously configured messages are now visible in the list):

Click New.

New Message Modal

The fields to be configured for the UpdateIncident New Message modal are as follows:

Your UpdateIncident New Message modal should look like this:

Submit and view to further configure the Message.

Response Fields

Navigate to Message > Response.

The Response fields to be configured are as follows:

*This field is automatically defaulted to true.

Your Response form should look like this:

Navigate to Message > Bond.

Bond Fields

The Bond fields to be configured are as follows:

*These fields are automatically populated.

Your Bond form should look like this:

Navigate to Outbound > Trigger.

Outbound Trigger Fields

The Outbound Trigger fields to be configured (as required)* are as follows:

*Outbound condition (as required):

It is not necessary for you to enter a condition. The value given is an example. You may create any condition (or not) to align with your business process requirements. In this case it makes sense to use this message to send an update where the state doesn't change. Typically, we would configure different messages to align with state changes (e.g. Close, Resolve).

The code in the 'Outbound condition' script field should look like this:

!current.state.changes()

Your Outbound Trigger form should look like this:

Navigate to Inbound > Settings.

Inbound Settings Fields

The Inbound Settings fields to be configured are as follows:

*Bond reference method:

Internal - lookup using the internal reference only.

External - lookup using the external reference only.

Both - lookup using both the internal and external references.

As mentioned earlier, because this is an update type message, we use 'Both' as it's a more accurate method of validating updates are being sent to/received from the correct bonded records.

The code in the 'Reference lookup script' field should look like this:

var answer = {};

answer.getExternalMessageID = function (payload, request) {
  return '' + (payload.message.source_id || '');
};

answer.getInternalMessageID = function (payload, request) {
  return '' + (payload.message.target_id || '');
};

Your Inbound Settings form should look like this:

Click Save.

We are now ready to configure the Fields for our UpdateIncident Message.
