  4. Enter a name for your workflow, then click Next. 
  5. Click Select next to the trigger(Shortcut) that you'd like to use. 
  6. Select a channel from the drop-down menu. 
  7. Add a short name for your workflow that will be visible in the attachments and shortcuts menu. 
  8.  Click Next.
  9. Click Add step to open the step library.
  10. Select 'Send a message' step.
  11. Click Add next to the step that you’d like to use.
  12. Select 'Channel where workflow started' for 'Send this message to:'

GlideRecord setValue

setValue(String name, Object value) Sets the specified field to the specified value. Normally a script would do a direct assignment, for example,  gr.category = value . However, if in a script the element name is a variable, then  gr.setValue(elementName, value)  can be used. When setting a value, ensure the data type of the field matches the data type of the value you enter. This method cannot be used on journal fields. If the value parameter is null, the record is not updated, and an error is not thrown https://developer.servicenow.com/app.do#!/api_doc?v=madrid&id=r_GlideRecord-setValue_String_Object
