Triggering an event to perform an action ,that will append a file at sFTP after 5 min

[ShubhamAg2]

"I need to create a custom event that triggers every 5 seconds and performs an action to append a file to an SFTP server. I'm not sure about the workflow. How can I create a custom event that will call my append-action file every time? What steps are needed for this?"

Will it work for the Abode app builder?

Hi @ShubhamAg2 - I think you don't need custom events. You just need to run an action on a corn schedule. To see how visit -  https://developer.adobe.com/app-builder/docs/resources/cron-jobs/

I added this code to the app. config.yaml

append-file-sFTP:

function: actions/append-file-sFTP/index.js

web: 'yes'

runtime: nodejs:18

inputs:

LOG_LEVEL: debug

apiKey: $SERVICE_API_KEY

providerId: ""

eventCode: com.adobe.appenddata

client_id: ""

client_secret: ""

technical_account_email: ""

technical_account_id: ""

ims_org_id: ""

annotations:

require-adobe-auth: false

final: true

event-consumer:

function: actions/event-consumer/index.js

web: 'no'

runtime: nodejs:18

inputs:

LOG_LEVEL: debug

annotations:

require-adobe-auth: false

final: true

Triggers:

everyMin:

feed: /whisk.system/alarms/interval

inputs:

minutes: 1

rules:

everyMinRule:

trigger: everyMin

action: append-file-sFTP

"When I invoke the action via the web, it appends the file on the SFTP, but it does not trigger the event every minute. How can I verify that the trigger is invoking the action?"
