Custom Web Logic Hooks or custom events

Hi John, 

There is a tool to configure logic hooks easily in graphic designer - it's purpose is exactly to make Sugar subscriber's admin a superhero in configuring Sugar. 

Data validation checks and sending results to external systems is that could be delivered with it, moreover -  you can even configure a middleware-based integration for Sugar with it. 

The tool is called Logic Builder - a cloud designer which is avaliable here:  https://logicbuilder.integroscrm.com

I suppose you may find a lot of examples of Logic Builder application here in the Club

However, if you like to try it out I would suggest a step-by-step guide on how to deliver an example of the solution from scratch in 15 min - https://integroscrm.com/sugarcrm-video-tutorials-and-webinars/#ppsShowPopUp_125

You would need to sign up here logicbuilder.integroscrm.com then just repeat the steps suggested in the video

thanks for the info, i have tried looking at this system but not getting the confirmation email. I do like to see the code in sugar though just to understand how it ticks, hence asking about the code

Hi John

Regarding your ask about the code, have a look at modules/WebLogicHooks/WebLogicHook.php. It's pretty much self-contained in the class.

Now, I think you can imagine that there are various ways to achieve what you want, and you can surely do it via an after-save hook, but one approach you alluded to could be viable.

I'm referring to the definition of a custom event. I've been thinking about custom events lately as they can be an approach to gather related business logic into a finer-grained event instead of something generic like an after-save event. 

One benefit of the custom event is that you can control when the event should be triggered, which means you can fire it from anywhere like a scheduled job, an API, or even from an orchestrator type after/before save logic-hook. Additionally, you would also be able to pass process variables when triggering the event, which your hook classes would have access to across the event execution.

Just a thought. 

I hope it helps.
