Republish Action Output

In this document we explain how to enable and disable republishing of action output in Soracom Flux Studio. Republishing action output allows you to send the output data of an action to another channel for further processing.

You can configure an action to republish its output data to a new output channel or an existing channel. For example, by adding a weather forecast channel to a Webhook Action, you can send data obtained from a web service via the Webhook Action to the next channel for further processing.

Enable Republishing of Action Output

When republishing action output, you must add a channel to the action output settings. You can create a new channel or select an existing channel to which the action output data will be sent.

To enable republishing of action output:

  1. Open the Studio tab of the Flux App in Soracom Flux Studio.

  2. Click on the action of which you want to republish the output.

  3. In Output section, configure the action to send its output data to another channel.

    • Republish the action output to another channel: Enable this option if you want to add a channel to the action.
    • Destination Channel:
      • Create a new channel: Select this option if you want to create a new channel and send output data to that channel, and enter the channel name in Channel Name.
      • Choose an existing channel: Select this option if you want to send output data to an existing channel, and choose the channel from the dropdown.
  4. Click Update.

The output of your action will now be republished to the channel you selected.

Disable Republishing of Action Output

To disable republishing of action output, you can disable this option in the action output settings or you can delete the output channel directly.

Changing the Output settings of an action can alter the flow of data.

  • Disabling Republish the action output to another channel in the action's Output settings stops the data from being sent to the next channel. The connection may still appear on the Soracom Flux Studio screen, but the data will not be sent.
  • By changing the Destination Channel setting in the action's Output settings, you can send data to another channel. However, you cannot link more than one channel to a single action.

Disable in Output Settings

  1. Open the Studio tab of the Flux App in Soracom Flux Studio.

  2. Click on the action for which you want to disable republishing of output.

  3. Disable Republish the action output to another channel.

  4. Click Update.

The output of your action will no longer be republished to the channel.
