sendSituationsToWorkflow
AA Workflow Engine function that sends the active Situation an alert is a member of to a named workflow within a named Inform based workflow engine using the MoogdbV2 sendToWorkflow API call. Returns true if all the Situations were sent successfully to the target workflow. Returns false if one or more Situations failed to send.
You can optionally provide a context for the target workflow. This context is available to the target workflow in the workflowContext. By default, adds the triggering alert_id to the context as workflowContext.alert_id.
This function is available as a feature of the Add-ons v2.1 download and later. See Install Moogsoft Add-ons for information on how to upgrade.
This function is available for alert workflows.
