Event Management

We are using an example of event-based management, where we have chain of event Snaps in this Pipeline, designated to perform specific tasks pertaining to their functionalities.

In this example, our Pipeline activities are as follows:

  1. Creating an event with all required input using the Create Event Snap.
  2. Mapping the event’s information using the Mapper Snap.
  3. Updating an event using the Update Event Snap.
  4. Listing the events in the calendar using the List Events Snap.
  5. Mapping an event’s information using the Mapper Snap.
  6. Deleting an existing event from the calendar using the Delete Event Snap.

Here, let us look into the role of the Create Event Snap in this Pipeline.

We create an event in the calendar with all the required inputs.

Create Event Snap
Output

Upon execution, the displayed output confirms the creation of an event with the given input.

We use the 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.

Update Event
Output

Upon execution, the output reflects the updates.

We retrieve the list of events from the calendar associated with an individual's mailbox. 

List Events
Output

Upon execution, the output displays the list of events and details related to the events.

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.

Delete Snap
Output

Upon execution, the output shows that the event with the specified ID is deleted.
