Examples
Event Management
We are using an example of event-based management, where we have a chain of event Snaps of event Snaps in this Pipeline, designated to perform specific tasks pertaining to their functionalities.
In this example, our Pipeline activities are as follows:
...
Creating an event with required
...
input using the Create Event
...
Snap.
Mapping the event’s information using Mapper Snap.
Updating an event using Update Event Snap.
Listing the events in the calendar
...
using List Events
...
Snap.
Mapping the event’s information using Mapper Snap.
Deleting an existing event from the calendar
...
using Delete Event
...
Snap.
...
Here, let us look into the role of Update Event Snap in this Pipeline.
Firstly, we will set up an upstream Snap which is the Mapper Snap where we are going to map the Expressions to the Target Path
...
...
As we have mentioned above, Expression and Target Paths have mapped so that the field inputs flow directly from the upstream Snap.
Now we will provide inputs in Snap Setting page of Update Event Snap. Lets look at the input and output.

...
the role of the Create Event Snap in this Pipeline.
We create an event in the calendar with all the required inputs. Let us provide input in the Snap Settings and look at the output.
Create Event Snap | Output |
|---|---|
 |  |
Upon execution, we see an output confirming the creation of an event with the given input.
We use Mapper Snap to map the newly created event’s details with the details of another event to update.
Mapper Snap |
|---|
 |
Next, we configure the Update Event Snap to use the inputs from the Mapper Snap as shown below:
Update Event | Output |
|---|---|
 |  |
Upon execution, we see an output with the update reflecting.
We retrieve the list of events from the calendar associated with an individual's mailbox. Let us provide input in the Snap Settings and look at the output.
List Events | Output |
|---|---|
 |  |
Upon execution, we see a list of events and details related to the events shown in the output.
We use the Mapper Snap to map the event’s ID received from the List Events Snap with the Existing Event ID field’s value in the Delete Event Snap.
Mapper Snap |
|---|
 |
We then add the Delete Event Snap and configure it to delete the specified event as shown below:
Delete Snap | Output |
|---|---|
 |  |
Upon execution, we see an output with the update reflecting saying the event with a specific ID is deleted.
