Automate: monitor dynamic object set returned by a function on objects

Ask the Community

Hi Community, I want to monitor edits to an object set that is slightly complex:

  • start with an object type
  • filter to a property
  • get linked objects → those are the ones I want to monitor
    This would be quite straightforward to get as a result of a function objects, but ofc. if I can also do the searcharound in the Automate UI that would be sufficient. Is there any way to achieve this?
    Thanks,
    Clemens

Could you use a Saved Object Set (aka Exploration in Object Explorer) instead of dynamically defining your Object Set in Automate? That would let you encode this logic without needing a Function.

Thanks, this works! Unfortunately now I can no longer do live monitoring, because having two object types and a join are not supported it seems. Maybe I need to re-design my ontology to make this work, or make a compromise on update latency.
