Events handling

Event triggers are actions that take place in LAC through either the web-based UI or the LAC API. An event trigger can be configured to use one or more event handlers. An event handler is a specific response to the event trigger. When you enable an event trigger, LAC will automatically execute the event handler(s) you have configured for that event. For example, when a license order is created for a customer in LAC (an event trigger), you can automatically send a notification email to the contacts for that customer (an event handler). 

Event handling is available only to paying LAC customers; these features are not included in the free version of LAC.

To enable and configure an event: 

1. Open the Events tab from the Administration page. All currently configured events are listed on the Events page. 
2. Click the Add New button at the bottom left of the page. This opens a wizard that steps you through enabling and configuring an event trigger. 
3. In the Trigger tab, select the trigger to enable from the Event Trigger selection list (see the list of available Event Triggers, below). 
4. Check the Enabled checkbox to enable the selected trigger.
5. Click Next to continue to the Handlers tab. The Handlers tab lists all currently configured handlers for the selected trigger.  
6. To add a new handler for the selected trigger, click Add New at the bottom left of the page. The Create Handler dialog opens.
7. Select the handler you want to use for the trigger from the Event Handler selection list, and customize the handler as needed (see list of available Event Handlers, below, for more details on customizing specific event handlers). 
8. Click Save to save the event handler.

LAC currently includes the following event trigger. Additional event triggers will be added in the future.
