Creating External Event Triggered Task in Code

Mon, 26 Jan 2026 16:26:21 GMT

Hi All,

I'm trying to use the QlikView Api to create an external event triggered task.

I can create the task, but the external event triggered property is not added.

Can Anyone help out?

QMSClient qmsClient = new QMSClient();
DocumentTask documentTask = new DocumentTask();

ServiceKeyClientMessageInspector.ServiceKey = qmsClient.GetTimeLimitedServiceKey();

List<ServiceInfo> serviceList = qmsClient.GetServices(ServiceTypes.QlikViewDistributionService);
Guid qdsGuid = serviceList[0].ID;

List<DocumentNode> SourceDocuments = qmsClient.GetSourceDocuments(qdsGuid);

documentTask.QDSID = qdsGuid;
documentTask.Document = SourceDocuments[0];
documentTask.General = new DocumentTask.TaskGeneral();
documentTask.General.Enabled = true;
documentTask.General.TaskName = "Test MAlik";
documentTask.General.TaskDescription = "Test description MAlik";
documentTask.Triggering = new DocumentTask.TaskTriggering();

Guid triggerID = new Guid("e95ecd5a-683d-1d33-26bf-66e94ff08223");

List<Trigger> List_trigger = new List<Trigger>();
ExternalEventTrigger t = new ExternalEventTrigger();
t.Password = "ReloadDeloitte";
t.Type = TaskTriggerType.ExternalEventTrigger;
t.Enabled = true;
t.ID = triggerID;
List_trigger.Add(t);

documentTask.Triggering.Triggers = List_trigger;
documentTask.Scope = DocumentTaskScope.General;
documentTask.Triggering.TaskDependencies = null;
documentTask.Triggering.ExecutionAttempts = 1;
documentTask.Triggering.ExecutionTimeout = 1440;

qmsClient.SaveDocumentTask(documentTask);
