Building Integrations With Custom Event and Custom Action

Overview

Custom action allows ISVs to support endpoints that Alloy may not support out of the box. Learn more about

Setting up your First Custom Event

1. In your Alloy dashboard, navigate to Embedded iPaaS > Integrations > New Integration > Shopify > New Workflow. This will bring up the workflow editor.

2. Next, search for custom events in the events block to set up a trigger. In Alloy, triggers kickstart a workflow.

   

3. Select Custom Event and hit continue.

4. Give your block a name. We'll name this block Create Order.

5. In Events > Event Selector, click Create a New Event. Give the event a name and add a description. Once done, hit Build Events Schema. This will bring up the JSON editor for you to add the schema the trigger should expect. For this example, we're simply copy-pasting the Create an Order schema from Shopify's API docs. Ideally, your schema should closely reflect the data that needs to be sent to the endpoint you'll eventually call.

   Hit Create to add the event and Next to finish setting up this trigger.
