Akeneo PIM Events API

Akeneo PIM Events API

The Trilix Events API enables the smooth and easy tracking of events happening within your Akeneo PIM system. Integrations and services built with the Events API responds to activities in real-time and with a low implementation effort. All you need is an endpoint to which the Akeneo PIM events are sent together with the Events API. The API is fully available as Open Source which gets you started right now. If you need more, please, do not hesitate to contact us for any custom inquiry.

How it works

  • As soon as an event occurs within the Akeneo PIM-system a mechanism will be triggered that sends this event to a consumer
  • The consumer then receives a JSON payload which specifies the event. Because this is already the same data format as is used within the Akeneo PIM API no extra format transformation step is needed
  • The Events API bundle runs a separate job in the next step to deliver the event to the consumer
  • Finally, the event will be send in real-time to the designated endpoint
