Event Generation

The Salesforce origin can generate events that you can use in an event stream. When you enable event generation, the origin generates an event when it completes processing the data returned by the specified query.

Salesforce events can be used in any logical way. For example:

With the Pipeline Finisher executor to stop the pipeline and transition the pipeline to a Finished state when the origin completes processing available data.
When you restart a pipeline stopped by the Pipeline Finisher executor, the origin processes data based on how you configured the origin. For example, if you configure the origin to repeat an incremental query, the origin saves the offset when the executor stops the pipeline. When it restarts, the origin continues processing from the last-saved offset. If you configure the origin to repeat a full query, when you restart the pipeline, the origin uses the initial offset.
For an example, see Stopping a Pipeline After Processing All Available Data.
With the Email executor to send a custom email after receiving an event.
For an example, see Sending Email During Pipeline Processing.

With a destination to store information about completed queries.

For an example, see Preserving an Audit Trail of Events.
