Emit Event Rule

The Emit event rule allows you to emit an event to BizzStream's event framework. This rule is crucial for integrating your workflows with BizzStream's event-driven architecture, enabling other parts of your system or external listeners to react to specific occurrences within your documents.

How to Add and Configure the Emit Event Rule

1. Create a new user action by dragging it into the workflow and connect it to Any status or any other status block.
2. The user action created should have a label and name. For example, 'Save'.
3. Add a new action rule.
4. Under Type, select Emit Event.
5. Enter a readable Label for the action rule.
6. Enter a Description for the action rule.
7. Configure the properties of the rule type as detailed below.
8. Click Save to finalize the rule configuration.
9. Finally, click Save in the action properties pane to apply the changes.

Properties

Field	Required	Purpose
Event Type	Yes	The type of the event. This name is used for event listeners and methods to listen to this specific type.
Event Info	Yes	A JSON object that contains the info of the event. This object may contain BizzStream expressions. For instance, the value { code: {{F["code"]}} } will result in an object containing the code field from the document that is being processed.
Delay in transaction	No	Only visible when the action is transactional. When enabled, the event is not emitted immediately — instead it is queued and emitted only after the transaction has been committed successfully. This prevents downstream listeners from acting on data that may still be rolled back.
