Sample RestartContract Apex Class
Restart a terminated contract by using a custom action.
global class RestartContract implements industries_clm.OpenInterface {
public Boolean invokeMethod(String methodName, Map<String, Object> request, Map<String, Object> outMap) {
Boolean success = true;
if (methodName == 'executeAction') {
makeCallout(request, outMap);
}
return success;
}
public static void makeCallout(Map < String, Object > inputMap, Map < String, Object > outMap) {
String ContractId = (String) inputMap.get('contractId');
List<Contract> contract = [SELECT Id, Name, Status FROM Contract WHERE Id =:contractId];
contract[0].Status = 'Draft';
update(contract);
outMap.put('isSuccess', true);
}
}
}
Sample ApprovalAction Apex Class
Implement additional logic that runs concurrently with the standard Salesforce approval process.
global class ApprovalAction implements industries_clm.OpenInterface {
public Boolean invokeMethod(String methodName, Map<String, Object> request, Map<String, Object> outMap) {
Boolean success = true;
if (methodName == 'executeAction') {
executeAction(request, outMap);
}
return success;
}
private void executeAction(Map < String, Object > inputMap, Map < String, Object > outMap) {
Approval.ProcessSubmitRequest req1 =
new Approval.ProcessSubmitRequest();
req1.setComments('Submitting request for approval.');
String contractId = (String) inputMap.get('contractId');
req1.setObjectId(contractId);
// Submit the record to specific process and skip the criteria evaluation
req1.setProcessDefinitionNameOrId('ContractApprovalProcessName');
req1.setSkipEntryCriteria(true);
// Submit the approval request for the account
Approval.ProcessResult result = Approval.process(req1);
outMap.put('isSuccess', true);
}
}
Sample EndContract Apex Class
For a called action, if multiple object state transitions are possible for a From state because multiple To states are available, Apex won’t change the state of the contract. For example, on an activated contract, there is a custom action called Endcontract that is configured to move the contract to two states: canceled and terminated. For the Apex call to succeed, the finalStatusValue parameter is required.
global class EndContract implements industries_clm.OpenInterface {
public Boolean invokeMethod(String methodName, Map<String, Object> request, Map<String, Object> outMap) {
Boolean success = true;
if (methodName == 'executeAction') {
executeAction(request, outMap);
}
return success;
}
private void executeAction(Map < String, Object > inputMap, Map < String, Object > outMap) {
String contractId = (String) inputMap.get('contractId');
outMap.put('isSuccess', true);
outMap.put('finalStatusValue', 'Canceled');
}
}
