Pass parameters when using bookmark URLs?
-
I have a powershell script that I want to activate via an html button. I have seen an example on this but need to figure out how to pass a parameter via the button to my powershell script via TC. Specifically, I will build the html page that prompts for an integer between 50 and 100 and sends the bookmark URL with this parameter to TC which launches my powershell script passing the parameter. My powershell script is already complete and expects to be launched with a command line parameter. I also have it listed as an action in TC... I just need some help putting these pieces together!

@insaneoctane, I could add the ability to add a URL parameter to the bookmark URL's. Would that work?
Like this:
https://www.triggercmd.com/trigger/bookmark?token=bookmarktoken¶ms=foo
EDIT: I added that capability. Now you can add ¶ms=foo to the end of your bookmark URL to send a parameter of foo to your command. That assumes you've enabled parameters on your command of course.

@russ said in Pass parameters when using bookmark URLs?:
https://www.triggercmd.com/trigger/bookmark?token=bookmarktoken¶ms=foo
Russ, that is fantastic that you could add that capability so quickly! I tried the API too and I'm getting the same CORS error. I'm SO not that knowledgeable with CORS/networks stuff, but I think the CORS error is because my javascript isn't being allowed to GET the bookmark (or API) without a proper header from triggercmd.com domain???? Have you seen or dealt with this before?
Here's the errors I'm seeing in the dev console from chrome:
Access to fetch at 'https://www.triggercmd.com/trigger/bookmark?token=XXXXX¶ms=75' from origin 'http://127.0.0.1' has been blocked by CORS policy: The 'Access-Control-Allow-Origin' header contains the invalid value ''. Have the server send the header with a valid value, or, if an opaque response serves your needs, set the request's mode to 'no-cors' to fetch the resource with CORS disabled.

@insaneoctane, I used this web page to test, and I wasn't able to reproduce the error.
Can you send me something that would help me reproduce it?
<!DOCTYPE html> <html> <head> <script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/3.3.1/jquery.min.js"></script> <script> $(document).ready(function(){ $("button").click(function(){ $.get("https://www.triggercmd.com/trigger/bookmark?token=(bookmarkToken)", { params: "Donald Duck", }, function(data,status){ alert("Data: " + data + "\nStatus: " + status); }); }); }); </script> </head> <body> <button>Send an HTTP GET request to a page and get the result back</button> </body> </html>

@Russ,
Just curious if you ran your script from triggercmd.com domain? -
@insaneoctane, no I served that page from w3schools. Please try it here:

@russ
I can't thank you enough for your time on this issue!
I ran the snippet from the W3 site you linked to, clicked the button and got nothing. To see what was happening (I'm in Chrome) I hit F12 and opened up the developers console and saw CORS errors. Here's a snip from the console:Access to XMLHttpRequest at 'https://www.triggercmd.com/trigger/bookmark?token=(youBookmarktoken)¶ms=Donald Duck' from origin 'https://tryit.w3schools.com' has been blocked by CORS policy: The 'Access-Control-Allow-Origin' header contains the invalid value ''.

@insaneoctane, I see the same thing in the developers console, but it does actually run Notepad with Donald Duck as the parameter if I give it an actual bookmark token.
Did you try that?

@russ,
I did try it after you asked and yes, it working even though there are CORS errors in the console. Once I saw those, I quit troubleshooting, but it appears it is working. Thanks again for your efforts and a great app! - 8 months later

Can I add more than one parameter and, if yes, how is the syntax ?
-
@bugtrapper, you should be able to pass multiple parameters by putting a space between them, or a %20 between them, like this:
https://www.triggercmd.com/trigger/bookmark?token=bookmarktoken¶ms=foo bar
or
https://www.triggercmd.com/trigger/bookmark?token=bookmarktoken¶ms=foo&20bar

Thank you
