Is it possible to pass data into IFS via the querystring on returning to a page?

As an example, we break out of IFS into a custom app, once we have finished working in that app, we press a button in that app, and it returns to the work order in IFS, however, we might want to pass a comment back to a comments field in IFS, such as “blah blah blah” into a custom Notes field.

The comment would be in the query string returning to the IFS.

I feel like this wont’ be possible… any thoughts ?

@dfsjmarchant in the external program you would send a POST request with “blah blah blah” in the body of the request. Followed by navigating to the desired page with a filter for the record.

 

You could use url parameters depending on the page and what you are doing…but it would most likely be to start a process not to save a raw string immediately to the record. 
 

POST requests is pretty straightforward. For the second option I’ve posted an example of how to do this with an assistant to start a process

Thanks ​@PhillBronson. I’ll look into that.

We have decided to simply use the IFS API and post data that way from our web app.
