How to call DocMerge from a Hook ?

nobody did that ??

Hi Frédéric Rinaldi,

I had a quick chat with engineering and they believe you can achieve what you need through DocMergeApi, as for error handling, most (if not all) are coming directly from the DocMerge service.

Perhaps if you share a little more about your use case, I can get a better answer from the team.

Hi Rafael Fernandes,

Thanks for your feedback.

Here is our use case

• we need to generate a mail for several customers
• using DocMerge, I can generate a single document merging all record for printing --> that is OK
• I also need to generate a single document for each customer, in ordre to archive the document in the EDM solution

we were thinking about doing this using BPM but we face several issues without any way to be sure that the document was correctly generated.

So we would like to trigger a hook and create several individual job action to perform the docmerge.

Best regards,

Fred

Hi Frédéric Rinaldi,

Here is some ideas we came up with:

You can create the hook and call the merge function from the DocumentMergeApi. Just instantiate the class and call the function. The function should receive the proper arguments. They can be identified from the code inside the function

   $data = [
            'mergeType' => $request->getValidInputPost('mergeType'),
            'useRevision' => $request->getValidInputPost('useRevision') ?? true,
            'templateName' => $request->getValidInputPost('templateName'),
            'templateId' => $request->getValidInputPost('templateId', 'Assert\Guid'),
            'recordId' => $request->getValidInputPost('recordId', 'Assert\Guid'),
            'recordModule' => $request->getValidInputPost('recordModule'),
            'parentId' => $request->getValidInputPost('parentId'),
            'parentModule' => $request->getValidInputPost('parentModule'),
            'maxRelate' => $request->getValidInputPost('maxRelate') ?? static::MAX_RETRIEVE,
        ];

Thanks Rafael Fernandes ; I will try.
