Jason,
I would create a filter on submit that pushes something to the record you 
are submitting.  This will cause the modify workflow to fire after the 
record is submitted.  If you want to bypass the unnecessary modify 
workflow, you could push some value to a display-only field included in 
the web service filter qualification, and then goto 999 or whatever 
execution order is appropriate.

HTH,
Dennis Ruble

Getting the Request ID for a web service on submit






** 
Getting the Request ID for a web service on submit
 
We have an appliance that sends notifications to IP phones using Cisco UCM 
via a web service from Remedy to the appliance.  The issue we are running 
into is that the web service call is done in a set fields action and the 
Request ID is not available in phase 1 on create.  There is no issue 
calling the web service during a modify.
 
The options I have considered are:
 
1.       Set the web service filter to only fire on modify and doing a 
push field to the record that was just created to trigger web service.  I 
don?t want to retrigger all of the other filters that just fired when the 
request was submitted.
 
2.       We could push the record to another form that would call the web 
service.  This isn?t too much trouble but I would like to avoid building a 
form just for this (even though it could be reused as a web service 
interface form).
 
3.       Create an escalation that will set the flag field, triggering the 
web service call after the ticket is created.  Again this would fire all 
of the filters just to send the info to the appliance, we already have a 
ton of escalations I don?t want to add another one if we don?t have to, 
and there would a delay in the notification being sent.
 
How are other people handing sending the Request ID to a web service on 
submit?  So far option 2 is looking like the best one.
 
Thanks,
Jason
