Plugin feed action
The plugin feed action can be used to automate the creation of posts .
A data group context is not absolutely necessary at this point.
The action can be associated with all data group event handlers. For the subsequent primary key mapping, the value to be assigned can, for example, be taken from the processing context, if no data group context is available.
You can find out how to create and use Intrexx Share plugins here.
Create plugin feed action
The plugin feed action can be found in processes in the "Elements" area. It belongs to the category "Actions - Intrexx Share". It can be dragged and dropped to the desired location in the process chain and then configured. General information about creating process items can be found here.
If you have created the plugin feed action on the workspace, open the properties dialog by double-clicking on the element.

Adopt from plugin configuration
Filter for the creation of a post
This setting has the effect that the filter of the plugin will be taken into account. The setting can only be accessed if the option "Add post" or "Add / change post" has been selected in the general settings. Deselecting the checkbox allows an individual override of the plugin configuration, e.g. via filters that you have defined within the process.
Positioning of post on timeline
The custom positioning of a post is shown here.
Edit user-defined position of the post on the timeline
Opens a dialog where the position on the timeline can be defined.
Primary key assignment
Here, you can define precisely which data record in the data group with the plugin a feed can be generated for. This allows you to generate posts from data groups where a data record is created in a referenced application. All primary keys required by the corresponding contribution data record are assigned in the primary key assignment. The plugin feed action is required whenever the plugin data group does not generate its own data events at the same time. This is the case, for example, with an integrated external data source that you do not have write access to. Furthermore, the action is useful when using timers for status monitoring, and a feed needs to be generated by specific changes of status (for example, expiry of a warranty, or maturity dates).

Source
Every data field from the source data group is listed here.
