Events tutorials

These tutorials walk you through building event-driven integrations between Adobe Commerce and Adobe App Builder. Each tutorial covers a distinct delivery model for Commerce events, so you can choose the approach that fits your use case.

Use events and App Builder to extend Adobe Commerce

SaaS Only

This tutorial covers the most direct event delivery model: a Commerce event triggers an Adobe I/O Events registration that immediately invokes an App Builder runtime action. A product update use case illustrates each step, from configuring an event provider and event metadata to writing and deploying the runtime action code.

In this tutorial, you will learn how to:

Set up an Adobe I/O event provider and event metadata in Adobe Commerce.
Create an event subscription and sync it with App Builder.
Initialize an App Builder project and write a runtime action that processes product events.
Register Commerce events in the Adobe Developer Console and verify end-to-end delivery.
Debug runtime actions locally using VS Code and the Adobe I/O CLI.

Runtime actions invoked directly by an event registration must complete within 60 seconds. For long-running or blocking workloads, see the journaling tutorial below.

Integrate Commerce events using the Adobe I/O Events Journaling API

The journaling tutorial covers journaling as an alternative to direct runtime invocation. Instead of immediately invoking a runtime action, Commerce events are stored in a journaling endpoint for up to seven days. A scheduled runtime action polls the journal, fetches batches of events, and processes them asynchronously.

This tutorial is appliable to all versions of Adobe Commerce.

In this tutorial you will learn how to:

Register Commerce events in the Adobe Developer Console using the journaling delivery model.
Validate that events flow from Commerce to the journaling endpoint.
Write a runtime action that uses the Adobe I/O Events SDK to poll the journal, maintain a cursor in state storage, and process event payloads.
Validate that the runtime action correctly fetches and processes journaled events.

When to use this approach:

Your processing logic may exceed the 60-second runtime action limit.
You need to process events in bulk or at a controlled pace.
You want resilience against missed events, since the journal retains events for seven days.
