Hello,

What is the difference between an event action and a projection action? I’ve been mainly using event actions and I don’t see the need to use projection actions, so I must be missing something.

Thanks,
Bryan

Event Action is basically in the configuration layer of IFS Cloud, which is triggered when a custom event is triggered. The development of event action is done with IFS client itself as you have been doing.

Projection Action on the other hand is developed and deployed in the customisation layer of IFS Cloud, for which you need IFS Developer Studio. The action becomes part of your API which can be used within or outside IFS during integration.

Hope this helps!

Hi @bhavesh, Yes that clears some of it up, so thank you for that.

I guess my main question would be, when would you ideally use a Projection Action rather than an Event action when dealing with workflows?

Thanks,
Bryan
