The Solace trigger is a Connector Event trigger that lets you invoke an integration based on the Solace events that you've subscribed to in your Solace connection.

Important: Integration Connectors is a billable component of Google Cloud. For information about the costs and charges of using Integration Connectors, see Integration Connectors pricing.

Before you begin

If you plan to create or configure a new connection for the Solace trigger, make sure that you have the following IAM role on the project:

• Connectors Admin (roles/connectors.admin)

For information about granting roles, see Manage access.

Grant the following IAM roles to the service account that you want to use for the Solace trigger:

• Application Integration Invoker (roles/integrations.integrationInvoker)

For information about granting roles to a service account, see Manage access to service accounts.

         • Connection names can use letters, numbers, or hyphens.
         • Letters must be lower-case.
         • Connection names must begin with a letter and end with a letter or number.
         • Connection names cannot exceed 63 characters.
      4. Optionally, enter a Description for the connection instance.
      5. Service Account: Select a service account that has the required roles.
      6. To use the connection for event subscriptions, select Enable event subscription. Selecting this option, enables the event subscription with actions.
         Note: The Enable only event subscription option isn't supported for this connection.
      7. Message VPN: The Solace PubSub+ message router Message VPN that you want to connect to. A connection is specific to a Message VPN. If you have many message VPN, you must create a separate connection for each message VPN.
      8. Default Queue Name: The name of the default queue, may be overridden when executing action.
      9. Default Topic Name: The name of the topic to connect to.
      10. Optionally, configure the Connection node settings:
          • Minimum number of nodes: Enter the minimum number of connection nodes.
          • Maximum number of nodes: Enter the maximum number of connection nodes.

          A node is a unit (or replica) of a connection that processes transactions. More nodes are required to process more transactions for a connection and conversely, fewer nodes are required to process fewer transactions. To understand how the nodes affect your connector pricing, see Pricing for connection nodes. If you don't enter any values, by default the minimum nodes are set to 2 (for better availability) and the maximum nodes are set to 50.

      Note: You can customize the connection node values only if you are a Pay-as-you-go customer.
      11. Optionally, click + Add label to add a label to the Connection in the form of a key/value pair.

      2. Click Next.
   5. Review: Review your connection and authentication details.
   6. Click Create.

   Trigger output

   The Solace trigger takes a couple of minutes to complete the event subscription configuration. You can view the status of your event subscription in the trigger configuration pane under Event Subscription details.

   The Solace trigger indicates the status of an event subscription using the following states:

   • Creating: Indicates that the trigger is subscribing to the event subscription.
   • Active: Indicates that the trigger is successfully subscribed to an event subscription.
   • Error: Indicates that the there is an issue with the configured event subscription.

   In addition to the event subscription status, the Event Subscription details section also displays other details such as connection region, connection name, and event subscription name.

   Trigger output variable

   For each event, the Solace trigger generates a ConnectorEventPayload output variable (in JSON format) which you can use in your downstream tasks. The output variable will have the payload from your Solace event. For example:

   {
   "message": "Hello world",
   "messageContentType": "Text"
   }

   View event subscriptions

   To view and manage all the event subscriptions associated with a connection in Integration Connectors, do the following:

   1. Go to Integration Connectors > Connections page.

      Go to the Connections page

   2. Click the connection for which you want to view the subscriptions.
   3. Click the Event subscriptions tab.

      This displays all the event subscriptions for the connection.
