Create, update or delete a trigger

A trigger allows Opinum Dto know how to process the files uploaded on the platform.

When your are uploading, in the storage, a file that contains data or information to create/update Opinum sites, sources and uUsers, a trigger needs to be defined first, in order to process it.

Create a new trigger

To create a new trigger, go to the Account page, in the Triggers tab and click on the Add Trigger button. The pop-up window "Edit File Trigger Settings" opens:

File Type

In this field, you can choose the file type you are going to upload on Opinum.

You have four choices in the drop-down menu: OpisenseStandard, OpisenseMasterData, CustomFormat and OpisenseManualLoad.

OpisenseStandard

This format is the standard file format used to load data in Opinum.

Tip

OpisenseMasterData

This file type allows to create/update Opinum entities in bulk via a set of Excel files or a set of JSON files.

Tip

Custom format

This file type allows to upload a data file which doesn’t match with the standard format supported by Opinum.

In this case, it is needed to define a MappingType which is going to map the fields in the file uploaded with the corresponding properties on Opinum’s side.

Important

Please, note that the definition of a MappingType can be performed only by the Opinum Team. You can contact our team for more information.

OPisenseManualLoad

This file type is used to upload Manual Index trough an excel file.

Here, the logic of your triggers is defined. Two fields need to be set : Option and Details.

Following choices are available in the drop-down menu :
