Can i fire a custom event from one function, and then listen to it from another one? and pass data from the caller function to the callee function? I'm using JS

You have few option to do so:
1. Via server/client side SDK https://appwrite.io/docs/client/functions?sdk=web-default#functionsCreateExecution https://appwrite.io/docs/server/functions?sdk=nodejs-default#functionsCreateExecution In this option you can pass any data you want.
- Trigger by event. https://appwrite.io/docs/events#functions-events You can set the event trigger to be the first function. You can see here some example https://discord.com/channels/564160730845151244/1097977347795337318/1097979530943139952 In this option you'll pass only the information that was returned from the first function

so does createExecution fire the function whose id was passed into it? or does it create a custom execution event i can subscribe to

createExecution
will trigger direct execution of the function.
In the data you can pass whatever you want

When you're listening to function event then your function will execute every time your function do something, and you can check then the data you got from the function

and syntactically, how would i pass the data to functions.createExecution(<function id>)
?

Like so
functions.createExecution('[FUNCTION_ID]','Data');
// OR
functions.createExecution('[FUNCTION_ID]',JSON.stringify({object:'value'}));
For now you can pass only string
that's why you'll need to stringify
your object

And inside your function you can parse
the json

All right that answers my question. thank you!
