Custom Actions

Custom action allows you to extend the built-in functionality of BRYTER and add your own specific actions to your applications.

Custom actions are embedded in the BRYTER module via an action node - just like all other standard built-in actions. It keeps the experience for the authors as simple as possible.

The key difference between built-in and custom action is that the custom action needs to be coded and installed for use in the BRYTER module. This code can solve tasks that cannot be solved by the built-in BRYTER nodes.

How to generate an API key

Manage your API keys in your application’ settings

or from the applications sections in the admin console

Installation

Make sure you have the application id ready for the BRYTER application you wish to add Custom Actions to. It will need it for several API calls. This can be found in the address bar of your web browser. In the BRYTER application go to the application you want to add a custom action and copy the last part as shown in the picture below. This is your application id.

Usage

Once a custom action has been successfully installed, you can start using it in a BRYTER module just like you would use regular built-in actions. The screenshot below shows that custom action that counts the number of words has been successfully installed and is available in the list of actions.

Once Word count is selected, you can work with it just like with any other action. You can pass a previously entered value to it and refer to its result from another node.
