The Field Change Event monitor gives customers the ability to set an option in their Flow Executions that will monitor their data for predefined changes, then set what they would like to happen once that change has been detected.
In this article we will show how to create, edit and remove Field Change Monitors within your Flow Executions.
Setting Up A Field Change Monitor
You can set up a Field Change Monitor by navigating to your Flow Configuration screen.
Next, scroll down to the section labeled Field Change Event or click the link in the lower right sidebar labeled Field Change Event.
Click the button labeled Add Field Change Monitor.
In the modal that appears enter the information needed to set up this monitor:
- Namespace - This is the name of this monitor, in the event you have multiple monitors, this helps identify it from the others

- No Action - takes no action at all
- Skip Flow - this will initiate a flow status of Skipped and move on to the next execution
- Fail Flow - this will initiate a flow status of Failed
-
Notifier Type - This field allows you to select how you would like to be notified if a change has been observed.
- Email - choosing this option will provide an email field for you to enter an email address that will receive a message if this monitor detects a change
- Webhook - choosing this option will provide a field for you to enter a webhook URL that will receive a response if this monitor detects a change
- Log Message Only - choosing this will send a message to the Flow Execution log that can be viewed in the Flow Execution Details
