The Event Transformation Action

In this lesson, we’ll cover:​ 

• How the Event Transformation Action allows you to restructure the contents or timing of incoming events.

• The different modes of the Action, one at a time:

  • message_only: restructure previous event data, or add new context to it

  • extract: locate and extract specific text from fields in incoming events

  • deduplicate: ignore events that you’ve already seen recently

  • delay: wait a specified duration before continuing

  • explode: break a list of items for one-by-one processing

  • implode: recombine a previously exploded list of items

  • throttle: emit events at a limited rate from across all story runs
