Trigger a workflow once a new instance is inserted in Data Model container

Hi ​@Pranjul Singh!

Yes, CDF does support this functionality through Data Modeling event triggers in Data Workflows. This allows you to create workflows that are triggered based on changes to data modeling instances that match your specified criteria, rather than relying on scheduled polling.

In your use case, you can set up a trigger with the dataModeling trigger type that will run your workflow when new instances are created in your data model container. You can configure the trigger to respond immediately by setting appropriate batch parameters.

For more detailed information and code examples, please refer to our documentation at: https://docs.cognite.com/cdf/data_workflows/triggers#data-modeling-events

Hello Everton,

With the help of the provided example, I am able to run the workflow with the triggers. But the issue is it take minimum of 60 seconds to trigger.

The Batch timeout cannot be less than 60 seconds.

But in my case I want to trigger the workflow as soon as new instance is being update in the Model container.

Please provide your valuable feedback to achieve it

Hi ​@Pranjul Singh!

That’s unfortunately not possible today. This is a limitation on the trigger in the API, as documented here. The minimum value of batchTimeout is 60s today.

This is a good candidate for a Product Idea. Feel free to create one, explaining what you would like to achieve and what needs to be improved in the product. That way other customers can upvote the idea and we can use it to gather interest to properly prioritise where to invest on the different product areas.

To create a product idea, click on Product Ideas in the top bar and Submit Product Idea.

This is critical requirement for us. Our customer needs to be notified immediately since the message is of critical action. If I submit the Product Idea, how soon it can be implemented?

This is not on our short term roadmap unfortunately. I would advise reaching out to ​@Aditya Kotiyal, explaining the requirement and associated impact.
