Hello, my question is quite simple and probably idiotic but I haven’t found a clear solution to this anywhere, so here we go…

I have a very simple Flow App where the user drags and drops a DWG file that then gets split up into separate layer entities and written to our SDE. So what I want, and again quite simple, is that that after running that App the user gets an email notifying him/her if the process succeeded.  

Meaning the running of the Flow app is the trigger for the Flow automation that then sends out an email based on a attribute value from the Flow app (the user basically fills out their email in the Flow app that gets assigned to a attribute in that process).

I cant for the life of me figure out how to use a ran Flow app as the trigger and the other things that comes after that is just bonus question material if anyone wants.

How do I do this?

How I do this:

  • FeatureWriter to do the writing.
  • Emailer to send the email, triggered by the summary output feature of the FeatureWriter.

The other way I can think of is to let the triggered job sumbit to a topic and use that as a trigger for an email automation, but I have not enough experience with automations to tell you how to set that up.

Hey Hlynur,

The cleanest way to fire off an automation from an FME Flow App would normally be to use an Automation App. 
But Automation Apps don’t support file uploads yet, so that’s a non-starter for your DWG drag-and-drop use-case.

The approach Niels suggested here is the simplest and works well.

Thanks ​@nielsgerrits  i’ll have a look at FeatureWriter since workspace cant be a trigger.
