Inbound and outbound actions within a Pub/Sub workflow entail receiving and sending data, respectively, enabling seamless communication and supporting event-driven processes. Below are the steps to configure Pub/Sub Inbound and Pub/Sub Outbound actions in your workflow

Workflow Action: Outbound

SnapApp uses PubSub to send outbound record data to a PubSub topic in JSON format. The schema follows a key-value pair structure, mapping field names to record values. Ensure that the service account has publishing permissions for the Outbound PubSub topic. This feature facilitates seamless integration of SnapApp with third-party systems leveraging PubSub as a robust messaging system.

PubSub plays a crucial role in streaming analytics and data integration pipelines, enabling efficient data loading and distribution.

Workflow Action: Inbound

PubSub Inbound action in workflow facilitates real-time event handling, ensuring seamless data flow and integration across systems with precise event-triggered operations.
