Soracom Flux

Actions

Actions can be added to channels to conditionally process the event messages received from an event source or other channels. Multiple actions can be added to a channel, and using Action Conditions, each action conditionally executes depending on the input data. In the example below, we can see a Flux App that conditionally triggers three actions when a file is uploaded to Soracom Harvest Files.
