Events

Cloud Elements currently supports events via polling or webhooks depending on the endpoint.

• Polling is a mechanism where Cloud Elements executes the configured query every n minutes and captures the changed information.
• Webhooks are when the provider lets Cloud Elements know what information has changed. Note that additional endpoint setup may be required prior to creating your Element Instance.

If you would like to see more information on our Events framework, please see the Event Management Guide.

Cisco Spark supports webhooks. In order to enable webhooks, add these extra configurations to your instance JSON:

"event.notification.enabled": "true",
"event.notification.callback.url": "<INSERT_YOUR_APPS_CALLBACK_URL>"

instance JSON with events enabled:

{
  "element": {
    "key": "ciscospark"
  },
  "providerData": {
    "code": "<CODE_ON_THE_RETURN_URL>"
  },
  "configuration": {
    "oauth.api.key": "<INSERT_CLIENT_ID>",
    "oauth.api.secret": "<INSERT_CLIENT_SECRET>",
    "oauth.callback.url": "<INSERT_CALLBACK_URL>",
    "event.notification.enabled": "true",
    "event.notification.callback.url": "<INSERT_YOUR_APPS_CALLBACK_URL>"
  },
  "tags": [
    "<ADD_YOUR_TAG>"
  ],
  "name": "<INSERT_INSTANCE_NAME>"
}
