Events

Cloud Elements supports events via polling or webhooks depending on the endpoint. If you would like to see more information on our Events framework, see the Event Management Guide.

Supported Events and Resources

Cloud Elements supports polling events for Sage CRM.

You can set up events for the following resources:

  • accounts
  • contacts
  • leads
  • opportunities
  • users

Polling

You can configure polling through the UI or in the JSON body of the /instances API call .

Configure Polling Through the UI

For more information about each field described here, see Parameters.

To authenticate an element instance with polling:

  1. Enter the basic information required to create an element instance as described in Authenticate with Sage CRM .
  2. Enable events: Switch Events Enabled on. event-enabled-on
  3. Add an Event Notification Callback URL.
  4. Use the Event poller refresh interval (mins) slider or enter a number in minutes to specify how often Cloud Elements should poll for changes.
  5. Select the resources to poll.
  6. Advanced users can further configure polling:

    • Click Code Button to edit the polling configuration JSON directly. Configure Polling UI
    • Click Edit Button to access the poller configuration. Configure Polling JSON
  7. Click Create Instance.

After successfully authenticating, we give you several options for next steps. Make requests using the API docs associated with the instance, map the instance to a virtual data resource, or use it in a formula template.

Configure Polling Through API

Use the /instances endpoint to authenticate with Sage CRM and create an element instance with polling enabled.

To authenticate an element instance with polling:

  1. Construct a JSON body as shown below (see Parameters):

    {
      "element":{
        "key":"sagecrm"
      },
      "configuration":{
        "subdomain": "sagecrm-0.<YOUR_TENANT>.com",
        "username": "<YOUR_USERNAME>",
        "password": "<YOUR_PASSWORD>",
        "event.notification.enabled": true,
        "event.notification.callback.url": "https://console.cloud-elements.com",
