Statement Scripts

Statement scripts declaratively describe actions on objects — creating new objects or updating existing ones. They are useful for automating workflows when an object is created or updated.

Definition​

{
  "name": "createWelcomeTask",
  "type": "statement",
  "scope": "OBJECT",
  "trigger": "CREATE",
  "parameters": [
    {
      "name": "title",
      "value": "Send welcome email"
    },
    {
      "name": "dueDate",
      "formula": "dateAdd(creationDate, 3, 'day')"
    }
  ]
}

Statement scripts express intent declaratively (create this object, set these fields) rather than imperatively. The platform translates the statement into the appropriate API calls.

Use cases​

  • Automatically create a related object when a dossier is opened
  • Set a default status field when a record is created
  • Copy fields from a parent object to a newly created child

Example: auto-create a task on dossier creation​

{
  "name": "createInitialReview",
  "type": "statement",
  "scope": "OBJECT",
  "trigger": "CREATE",
  "parameters": [
    {
      "name": "taskTitle",
      "value": "Initial review"
    },
    {
      "name": "dueDate",
      "formula": "dateAdd(activeDate, 14, 'day')"
    }
  ]
}

Parameters​

Parameters work identically to other script types. Use formula to compute values from the current object, template for text interpolation, and value for literals.
