Inventory Management Lifecycle

The Fluent Big Inventory Web App is pre-configured with standard functions that provide the interface for managing products, inventory, feeds, and sources and serve as a starting point for your projects.

Events are a fundamental part of the Fluent Platform. Not only are they used to trigger workflow logic, but they also capture everything that happens within the system. Events are categorized by type.

• Event Types: Understand the different event categories such as ORCHESTRATION, ORCHESTRATION_AUDIT, API, and GENERAL events, each serving distinct purposes within the Fluent Platform.
• Event Retrieval: Use the GET methods with appropriate parameters to retrieve specific events or a filtered list of events, ensuring you handle possible 404 errors for not found items.
• Event Creation: Leverage the POST methods to create new events either asynchronously (/event/async) or synchronously (/event/sync) based on the workflow requirements.
• Authentication: Remember that authentication is required for all operations within the Event API, ensuring secure access and interaction with the event system.
