Introducing the new Run-on-Event feature on 💧 Instill VDP to enhance pipeline automation by listening to events from other services so that VDP can provide corresponding actions.

Features

• A star created event from GitHub

• A new message event from Slack

Run-on-Event enables you to:

• Trigger downstream processes by listening to events

• Automate notifications & alerts

• Enable real-time data synchronization across different services

Send a message to Slack on a GitHub star event

Pre-requisites:

• Setup Slack connection

• Setup GitHub connection

When someone stars your GitHub repo, automatically send a message to your designated Slack channel.

Customize your event messages

See the example recipe below:

# VDP Version
version: v1beta

on:
  github:
    type: github
    event: EVENT_STAR_CREATED
    config: 
      repository: <USERNAME/YOUR-GITHUB-REPO> # i.e. instill-ai/instill-core
    setup: ${connection.<YOUR-GITHUB-CONNECTION>}
  
variable:
  repository:
    title: repository
    format: string
    listen:
      - ${on.github.message.repository.full-name}
  user:
    title: user
    format: string
    listen:
      - ${on.github.message.sender.login}
  description:
    title: user
    format: string
    listen:
      - ${on.github.message.repository.description}
  stargazers-count:
    title: stargazers-count
    format: number
    listen:
      - ${on.github.message.repository.stargazers-count}
    
output:
  text:
    value: ${variable.repository} ${variable.user}

component:
  slack:
    type: slack
    input:
      channel-name: <YOUR-SLACK-CHANNEL-NAME> # i.e. notify-github-star
      message: |
        ${variable.user} star ${variable.repository}
        Repo Description: ${variable.description}
        Stargazers Count: ${variable.stargazers-count}
      as-user: false
    condition:
    setup: ${connection.<YOUR-SLACK-CONNECTION>}
    task: TASK_WRITE_MESSAGE  

The GitHub star and Slack message examples demonstrate how Run-On-Event can bridge different services, allowing VDP to create responsive, event-driven workflows that enhance overall system automation and integration.
