afterSubmit(context)

Description	Runs the function right after a record is submitted. Use afterSubmit for anything you want to happen after a write operation—like sending an email, redirecting a browser, creating related records, or syncing with an external system. Notes: The approve, cancel, and reject types are only for record types like sales orders, expense reports, timebills, purchase orders, and return authorizations. Attaching or detaching a child custom record triggers an edit event. Asynchronous afterSubmit user events only work during webstore checkout. This event can be used with the following context.UserEventType: create edit xedit (inline editing—only returns the edited fields, not the full record) delete approve (only available for certain record types) cancel (only available for certain record types) reject (only available for certain record types) pack (only available for certain record types, for example Item Fulfillment records) ship (only available for certain record types, for example Item Fulfillment records) dropship (for purchase orders with items specified as “drop ship”) specialorder (for purchase orders with items specified as “special order”) orderitems (for purchase orders with items specified as “order item”) paybills (use this type to trigger afterSubmit for Vendor Payments from the Pay Bill page. No sublist line item info will be available, so you’ll need a search or lookup for details.)
Returns	void
Since	Version 2015 Release 2
