Recommendation for triggering an ECA

Created on 12 April 2025, 11 days ago

Problem/Motivation

What is the recommended way to trigger a ECA to 'fire' when clicking on a link.

Consider the following scenario:

We are using the integration between the AI module and ECA to re-write the contents of a field using an AI Automator.

This all works very well indeed but thus far, we can only trigger the AI Automator to kick in using one of the already-available EVA Events such as 'Entity save'.

Ideally, what we would want to do is to trigger its action when clicking a button labelled (say) 'Automate'.

Can we use ECA to react to a specific path (say) /node/[id]/automate or something similar? If so then we could easily render such a button as a block attached the node view and all would be very simple indeed.
