10.6.6. Providing a Script as an Action

In addition to the static synchronization actions described in the previous section, you can provide a script that is run in specific synchronization situations. The following extract of a sample sync.json file specifies that when a synchronization operation assesses an entry as ABSENT, the workflow named managedUserApproval is invoked. The parameters for the workflow are passed in as properties of the action parameter. 

{
    "situation" : "ABSENT",
    "action" : {
        "workflowName" : "managedUserApproval",
        "type" : "text/javascript",
        "file" : "bin/defaults/script/workflow/workflow.js"
    }
}

The variables available to these scripts are described in Variables Available in Scripts in the Scripting Appendix.
