Open screen through Rest APi
Question

Hello All,

I have implement a Rest API to get and handle some X data. There is a business need, when the X data received, to redirect the user to a specific screen (regardless the current screen where is the user)

I don't see any action to do it on the left menu

Any suggestions?

It's not possible to redirect to a screen from a Server Action.  btw could you please explain your scenario in detail ? Are you invoking the Rest API in a timer ?

Hello @Siya,

thank you for your reply.

There is a third party system that provides some client details to my environment through rest api.

Each time that these details delivered to my system, I want to user to be redirected to the client tab automatically as for this client the X data delivered. 

Any suggestion?

Basically you are exposing a REST end point  and some third party system is pushing data to your application. Please confirm.

Since this is a web application there will be many users. When you said "user to be redirected to the client tab automatically" does it mean every users of your application should be redirected ?

Please note that you cannot directly invoke screen direct from a REST endpoint call back or from a server action.

There are different solutions available to notify the clients of an events from the server eg: Firebase, SSE, Pusher etc.  I have implemented a solution using Pusher and the same can be found in this discussion
