NetSuite Professionals

Is there any way, using either saved searches, datasets, or SuiteQL, to do a search or query of all workflow actions?  I want to find all Send Email actions across 400+ workflows, in the most efficient way possible.

I periodically export the XML of all my workflows, and save them to my WebStorm &amp; upload to Bitbucket.  Then I can search for the save eamil action

```// Bring up list of all Workflows.  Exclude those from bundles, and inactive WFs.
// Export, make array of all ids.  E.g. var wfids = [1, 2, 3];
// Then, run this script in browser console while logged into NetSuite.

// Replace this with your list of ids.
let wfids = [1, 2, 3];

// Replace this with your NS account id.
let accountid = 12345;

for(var i = 0; i &lt; wfids.length; i++) {

	let link = document.createElement("a");
	link.href = 'https://' + account_id + '.<http://app.netsuite.com/app/suiteapp/devframework/xml/xmlexport.nl?&amp;recordtype=workflow&amp;id=|app.netsuite.com/app/suiteapp/devframework/xml/xmlexport.nl?&amp;recordtype=workflow&amp;id=>' + wfids[i];
	link.target = '_blank';
	document.body.appendChild(link);
	link.click();
	document.body.removeChild(link);
	console.log('downloading ' + link.href);


}```

something like this, you can run in console

I think this is the only possible solution (based on other feedback I got), so SDF/XML it is!  Thanks for the suggestion, at least I can search the XML files for the actions and settings I need.

bonus points: this creates a backup of your workflows in case you accidentally delete or change/break one

Have you looked at Salto? You can do this (pull all objects, text search in SDF definitions) using their free tier.

Not yet, but I'll check into that too. For now I was able to get what I needed relatively efficiently
