What access does a user with a view role have to events?

A user with a viewer role cannot run or re-emit events. You can look at an event, but hovering over re-emit gives the ๐Ÿšซ icon.

๐Ÿ‘‰ For more details on teams and roles see here

Is there a way to get the event ID as it is emitted?

List event

You can run the list-event API endpoint immediately after the action as shown here.

The last event ID would relate to the one running.

Metadata

The META key exposes a useful set of information about the current environment. View the full data structure it generates here.

To get the event ID, you can use:

META.event.id

How do I update the results of an event payload for a previous action in a story?

In general, we do not edit or modify events once they have been emitted. However, an action with the same name can overwrite an event.

In the example below,

  • An alert is given a severity.

  • A set of conditions are checked.

  • The event is updated with a new severity.

Does remitting an event count towards your event limit?

Remitting an event in Tines will count towards your permitted monthly event limits.
