Business Event Services

Introduction

Studio Pro 9.18 and above integrates with Mendix Business Events module functionality. With the Mendix Business Events module, applications can signal when something important happens, and can subscribe to these events if they want to be informed. Business events are like a mailing list to share event notifications between apps.

This page references the Business Event Service documents in Studio Pro. See Mendix Business Events for the complete documentation.

Business Event Service Documents

The Business Event Service document is added to your app in Studio Pro when you create a business event service.

The service documents themselves, and way to create a business event service, differ depending on which version of Studio Pro you are using.
