Considerations
When the URL sent to the HTTP server contains a password parameter, the password will be removed from the result returned by
Actr_GetEventInfo ("-GetURL" ; $EeventID)Example
Set Field [ result ; Actr_GetEventInfo ( "-LastTriggered -GetYourID -DeleteThisEvent" ; ) ]This command will return the YourID data for the last event triggered. The event data will be deleted.
Example 2
We assume that in your FileMaker file the following fields are defined:
gEventID Global, number
gEventText Global, textgEventID contains the eventID. Add the following script step to your Trigger script:
Set Field [ gEventText ; Actr_GetEventInfo ( "-ByEventID -GetYourID" ; gEventID ) ]This command will fill the field gEventText with the text that was supplied earlier, when the event was created.
