The HTTP event enables you to schedule a process flow to be triggered when an HTTP request is made to Connect Server. It also allows the request to pass the data to the process flow. The trigger can be used by an HTTP client application to integrate with process flow, deployed on the Connect Server.
Steps to create an HTTP event:
- Click Configure >EVENTS > HTTP.
Click Create HTTP Event.
On the Create HTTP Event window, type the name and description of the new HTTP Event in the Name and Description fields respectively.
Expand Advanced Properties to view the advanced properties of an HTTP Event.
- Type the email id in the Notification Receiver Email-ID(s) (comma separated) to receive error emails related to this HTTP event.
Select Trigger in Sequence check box to trigger the associated process flow in a sequential manner. If you do not select the Trigger in Sequence check box then the associated process flow will trigger concurrently.
Select the Project from the drop-down list of Project. This option is visible only when GAC is enabled.
Click Save.
