React to Service events

West Connectivity is an Event based System in which scripts are executed when triggered by a Micro-Service event. Those events are accessible under each service item.

The event handler screen will allow you to input custom Lua code to utilize data from the events.

All services events payload are documented on the Micro Services reference page under the 'events' section for each service. Note: Not all services have events.

West Connectivity Connectors are exposed to application as Micro Services themselves and can be therefore added, configured and access from scripting in the same way as other services. You will see the list of available Connector on the Connector Setup entry.
