To kick off an event, you generally need to do something in the service. Here, we'll make a POST /folders
request to create a new folder, and expect to get a notification:
- HTTP Headers:
Authorization- User <user secret>, Organization <organization secret>
- HTTP Verb:
POST
- Request URL:
/folders
- Request Body: Required – see below
- Query Parameters: None
curl -X POST \
-H 'Authorization: User <INSERT_USER_SECRET>, Element <INSERT_ELEMENT_SECRET>' \
-H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
-d @TestFolderCreate.json \
'https://api.openconnectors.us2.ext.hana.ondemand.com/elements/api-v2/hubs/documents/folders?path=/testfoldercreate'
with the following in TestFolderCreate.json
:
{
"path": "/testfoldercreate",
"tags": [
"TestFolderCreate"
],
"createdDate": "",
"size": 0,
"name": "TestFolderCreate",
"directory": false
}
Once that's done, we would expect to eventually see the following webhook content made to the endpoint we specified in the instance's "event.notification.callback.url" configuration ( http://my-cool-site/callback
in our example):
{
"eventId": 1088,
"instanceId": 31,
"response": {
"events": [
{
"path": "/testfoldercreate",
"metadata": {
"path": "/TestFolderCreate",
"name": "TestFolderCreate",
"type": "folder"
}
}
]
},
"notificationId": 1047
}
Note that any change made on the service end will trigger a notification, not just changes initiated from SAP Open Connectors. In this example, if a user of this Dropbox account were to add a folder via the Dropbox Web UI, then a webhook would still be delivered to the instance's callback URL.
Reviewing Event Logs
You can view logs for your events by clicking Activity from the left-hand navigation bar, and then clicking Event Logs.
