Adding polled event groups and polled events

A polled event group acts as a container for the polled events. To add an event by polling group, you must have an associated action set up in an action group with the action type 'RetrieveWithWhere'. You cannot manually create a polled event group from the Events tab. A polled event group is displayed as an object in App Connect and refers to the group to which a set of polled events belongs.

To create a polled event group along with polled events, follow these steps:

  1. Go to the connector that you want to work with from the Connector Development Kit home page.

  2. Navigate to the Actions tab and ensure that you have an associated action set up in an action group with the action type 'RetrieveWithWhere'. For more information about adding an action group and an action, see Adding a group and Adding an action.

    Note: If there is no action in the Actions tab with action type 'RetrieveWithWhere', the Events tab remains empty.

Result

Your group of polled events, including New 'event name', Updated 'event name', and New or updated 'event name', is automatically generated in the Events tab.

Note: The display names of the polled events are generated automatically based on their associated action group name and so cannot be edited from the Events tab.
