Brand new to FME server, and i've only really worked with outgoing REST API calls before in general.

 

What i have is a workspace that is parsing emails and picking out specific data that is then packaged based on conditions and sends out an REST POST request to another platform.

 

The packaged data going out becomes an actionable item in the other platform, and i want to have users be able to click a button to respond to the action item and have that come back to FME Server (i assume it'd be a post request) where i can write to a table some related data.

 

i'm not sure how to "listen" for incoming REST requests? i've read through the v3 documentation and it is pretty likely that i missed it, but i'd love it if someone could help me out?

The easiest is perhaps to use the automation websocket trigger, they're simple to setup and allows you to forward the posted JSON to your workspace through a published parameter. See e.g. https://community.safe.com/s/article/Working-with-Real-Time-Data-and-FME
