Image Modified Best practice example

Here There is an example based on http https://hostname/handler-endpoint usage.

1.

Open the Provisioning section and start creating a handler.

  1. Specify the name, type, and status.
  2. In the Event field, select
  3. the
  4. Clients Create event from the drop-down list.
  5. In the Task field, indicate
  6. http://
  7. HTTPS type and
  8. determine the port and method
  9. define the URL for the handler, for example,
  10.  120.0.0.1:5000
  11. my-domain.org/api.
  12. Click Apply.

Find an example of the http://handler below:

Code Block
languagepy
from flask import Flask, request
import json
app = Flask(__name__)
@app.route("/api", methods=['GET', 'POST'])
def api():
    data = json.loads(request.data)
    return json.dumps(data)
if __name__ == "__main__":
    app.run()

The clients.custom_fields_update event has been renamed to clients.custom_fields.update starting from JeraSoft Billing v3.23 for consistency.

Event Payload

Structure

During notification, the handler will be called with a JSON-formatted data payload. The payload has the following structure:

  • event
    • dt - the date-time of the event in the ISO8601 format;
    • events_id - ID of the event occurred (helpful, when multiple events are handled by the same handler);
    • object_id - the entity, to which the event happened;
  • data - data related to the specific event.

Example


Code Block
{
  
  • archive
  • custom fields update
  • balance became >=0
  • balance became <=0
  • Accounts
    • create
    • update
    • delete
    Clients Packages
    • assign
    • activate
    • deactivate
    • renew
    • close 

    JeraSoft Billing sends data in the following structure:

    Code Block
    
    {
      "event": {
          "dt": "2000-01-01T00:00:00+00:00",
          "events_id": "clients.update",
          "object_id": 12
       },
       "data": {
          "id": 12,
          "field": "some-value"  
       }
    }

    Data

    The data provided within the notification depends on the specific type of event.

    Events that represent basic status changes will not contain any additional data as the ID of the related entity is provided within the "event" key. Examples of such events are: clients.accounts.delete, clients.archive, clients.balance_notzero, clients.balance_zero, etc.

    For the rest of the events, the structure will match the respective CoreAPI method's structure. Please check the respective documentation within the system interface in the Integration/CoreAPI Docs section.
