In this lesson, you will subscribe to data ingestion events by setting up a webhook with the Adobe Developer Console and an online webhook development tool. You will use these events to monitor the status of your data ingestion jobs in the subsequent lessons.
Data Engineers will want to subscribe to data ingestion events outside of this tutorial.
Data Architects can skip this lesson and go to the batch ingestion lesson.
In the Configure Permissions lesson, you set up all the access controls required to complete this lesson, specifically:
These notifications triggered by the data ingestion events will apply to all of your sandboxes, not just your Luma Tutorial
. You might see notifications originating from other data ingestion events in your account, as well.
In this exercise, we will create a webhook using an online tool called webhook.site (feel free to substitute any other webhook development tool you prefer to use):
In another browser tab, open the website https://webhook.site/
You are assigned a unique URL, which you should bookmark, as you return to it later in the data ingestion lessons:
Select the Edit button in the top navigation
As the Response body, enter $request.query.challenge$
. The Adobe I/O Events notifications we set up later in this lesson send a challenge to the webhook, and requires that it be included in the response body.
Select the Save button
In another browser tab, open the Adobe Developer Console
Open your Luma Tutorial API Project
Select the Add to Project button and then select Event
Filter the list by selecting Experience Platform
Select Platform notifications
Select the Next button
Select all of the events
Select the Next button
On the next screen for configuring credentials, select the Next button again
As the Event registration name, enter Platform notifications
Scroll down and select to open the Webhook section
As the Webhook URL, paste the value from the Your unique URL field from webhook.site
Select the Save configured events button
Wait for your configuration to save and you should see that your Platform notifications
event is Active with your webhook details and no error messages
Switch back to your webhook.site tab and you should see the first request to the webhook, resulting from the validation of your Developer Console configuration:
That’s it for now, you will learn more about these notifications in the next lessons when you ingest data.
Ok, let’s finally start ingesting data!
