Business value
External events will be ingested more quickly, leading to more responsive business processes.
Feature details
External business events use custom APIs that are configured so that no synchronous logic or data operations occur in Dataverse. Applications send external business events to Dataverse so that logic can be applied asynchronously.
These custom APIs are configured in this way:
- No plug-in type is registered for the main operation.
- The Allowed Custom Processing Step Type property is set to Async Only.
- There are no response properties.
This feature recognizes the unique configuration of these custom APIs and optimizes how Dataverse responds to these events. Without any synchronous logic or data operations in the custom API, these events can't be cancelled. Knowing this, Dataverse will immediately respond to indicate that the event was accepted, skipping the time required for the logic that usually must occur to confirm the full processing of synchronous data or logic operations.
This results in a significant increase in the rate that applications can send events to Dataverse.
