Using Automation to trigger reload of another app

[MadsNGrathe]

Hello everybody

I had an idea that I wanted to try out in Qlik App Automation, but I'm not really sure how to pull it off. What I'm trying to achieve is that an app, let's call it 'App2', reloads everytime another app, 'App1' succesfully reloads. 

The only thing I can think of is that the Qlik App Automation 'Run Mode' in the 'Start' block should be set to 'Triggered'. This gives me the option of two Webhook URLs, POST or GET.

Is there any way I can get an app to run of those URLs at the end of a reload? That way, I could tell App2, via Qlik App Automation, to reload every time App1, containing the URL call, is reloaded.

Is this even possible?

Thank you in advance for any advice you might be able to give me.

Kind regards,
Mads

Hi @MadsNGrathe

What if you trigger the webhook set up using the REST Connector in the load script of App1? Would that work?

Until we have app-specific web-hooks in QlikCloud i suggest you use the ReloadAPI and Rest Connector in the script of app1 to trigger a reload of app2.

But now we DO actually have app-specific web-hooks in Qlik App Automation, so problem solved 😊

Solved if the reload duration of App2 doesn't take more than 870 seconds/14,5minutes 😉

Hi @MadsNGrathe you can set the reload mode to "Start and Continue" . This will trigger the app reload and doesnt wait for it to complete.
