Webhook listener

Hi,

 

Can we create custom webhook listener using runtime? If its can anyone direct to documentation or setup guidelines? Is there any limitations? 

Also, events will be triggered from non-adobe applications.

 

Thanks

Naveen

Hi @naveen_srinivas - if you want to make your Runtime action a webhook listener, the only requirement is to make it a web action which can be called via HTTP. See https://www.adobe.io/apis/experienceplatform/runtime/docs.html#!adobedocs/adobeio-runtime/master/guides/creating_actions.md#invoking-web-actions.

I assume you don't use I/O Events for these non-Adobe triggers. If they are through I/O Events, there could be better alternatives than webhook listeners, namely Journal API and Runtime action listener (without making it a web action), depending on your specific needs.

Thanks for your reply,

 

I had built web-actions but am not able to see all invokes. Also non-adobe application is triggering 25calls/sec. 

 

Thanks

Thanks for the reply, one last question. As I read system settings action can be invoke only 600/min so how can we manage web actions to hold 25calls/sec simultaneously? Also I need to store response in a file or in some db? 


Is the projected traffic 25 calls / sec constant or only at peak time? You should consider the impact on cost of this approach, because it potentially result in lots of invocations.

If that's only for a short period of peak time, please work with @kanikagera about your use case, current Runtime license and possibility to increase the limits.

On the question about storing responses - it's totally up to you to decide based on your needs. You can leverage Firefly Files SDK for that.
