Actionable Telematics Event Business API and Platform Events
Different methods are available to bring asset events into Salesforce and execute
actions on the event. Use the Actionable Orchestration Source Event platform event to publish
events or use the Orchestration Inbound Events business API to trigger events. The platform
event and the business API can be easily integrated with any external system, such as telematics
provider systems.

Here’s the process to use the platform event framework to ingest events.
Phase 1 – Prepare Input Data: The request payload must contain the source system
identifier and event type at a minimum. In addition, event subtype and event category can
also be specified. For additional events data, make sure the JSON structure matches the
nodes and attributes for a context definition.
Phase 2 – Publish the Source Event: Publish the Actionable Orchestration Source Event
platform event from an external system so that you can establish the connection between the
external system and Salesforce. Salesforce receives all events originating in the external
system after the platform event is published.
Phase 3 – Subscribe to the Response Event: Subscribe to Actionable Orchestration Response
Event to notify the external system after an action is executed for the source event. The
response contains the details of the executed action, the processing status of the source
event, and the error description for a failed event.
Perform these high-level steps if you use the business API to ingest events.
Prepare Input Data: The request payload must contain the source system identifier and
event type at a minimum. In addition, event subtype and event category can also be
specified. For additional events criteria, make sure the JSON structure specifies the
key-value pairs for each type of detail.
Trigger the API: Use a POST method to trigger the API that automatically invokes the
actionable event orchestration framework.
Review the Results: Review the API response, which lists the actions taken by the
orchestration process for a specified event. The response contains the details of the
executed action, the processing status of the source event, and the error description for a
failed event.
