By using this trigger, you can respond to your custom API events.
You can select a resource by double-clicking the External Event trigger node.
The payload size limit of External events has changed:
We are introducing a limit of 1 MB for the payload size limit of External events effective October 24, 2023. Events exceeding this limit are not accepted and you will receive an error response from the API. As a result, External events over the limit will not trigger any Triggered Email campaigns, Automation Center or Interactions programs.
Notes:
- To achieve optimal performance, we recommend using specific external events that supports your use case the best in programs starting with the External Event trigger instead of using a generic event in multiple programs.
- You can filter External events based on the time when they were received by Interactions with the
ems_event_time
attribute.
