Listeners

Listeners are components through which you can receive data from external sources, such as HTTP requests, emails, or message queues. After the incoming data is received, they start integrations, for example, alert the sales representative to a return and send a confirmation email to the customer.

Listeners play a key role in building event-driven integrations that respond to data events, making it easy to automate business processes and workflows based on external inputs. The choice of listener depends on the specific requirements of your integration project and the data sources that you need to connect.

Listeners are supported for the following connectors:
  • Salesforce
  • SAP® ERP
  • Kafka
  • IBM® MQ
Note: SAP® ERP listeners are available only upon request. Contact IBM support.
