Subscribe to Publish Status Events with an Apex Trigger (Beta)

Alternatively, you can subscribe to publish status events with an Apex trigger. Create an after insert trigger on PublishStatusEvent.

As a beta feature, Publish Status Events is a preview and isn’t part of the “Services” under your master subscription agreement with Salesforce. Use this feature at your sole discretion, and make your purchase decisions only on the basis of generally available products and features. Salesforce doesn’t guarantee general availability of this feature within any particular time frame or at all, and we can discontinue it at any time. This feature is for evaluation purposes only, not for production use. It’s offered as is and isn’t supported, and Salesforce has no liability for any harm or damage arising out of or in connection with it. All restrictions, Salesforce reservation of rights, obligations concerning the Services, and terms for related Non-Salesforce Applications and Content apply equally to your use of this feature. You can provide feedback and suggestions for Publish Status Events in the Trailblazer Community. For information on enabling this feature in your org, contact Salesforce.

Note

Trigger.New contains the received PublishStatusEvent messages. For each status event, you can obtain the event fields, such as the status and topic. Then you can get information about each event, including the EventUuid, in the PublishStatusDetails field.

This Apex trigger example iterates over every PublishStatusEvent and logs information about the failed event publishes in PublishResult__c custom object records.

Prerequisites: Before you can save this example, create a custom object with the label PublishResult and with these fields:

  • Type: Text(36), Label: EventUuid
  • Type: Number(18,0), Label: ReplayId
  • Type: Text(50), Label: StatusCode
  • Type: Text(255), Label: FailureReason
  • Type: Text(255), Label: Topic
  • Type: Text(25), Label: Status
