Trigger function on document Creation

Hi, I have a function that needs triggering when a document is created inside of a particular collection. how do I listen for the creation and trigger the function?

TL;DR

The user is having trouble triggering a function when a document is created in a specific collection. They mention checking the configuration in appwrite.json, events, and permissions. They tried adding an event listener and testing with admin access, but the permission roles disappeared. They also mention the CLI version they are using. There is no clear solution mentioned in the thread.

I have deployed the function and if I set an event trigger to listen for the change, it works only once. then the event is removed

and you're not deploying it again?

what version are you on? I just tested and it looks like it stays for me...

CLI is 4.1.0

I added the event listener and tried with full admin access to any user and then tried function execution from client end and the permission roles also disappeared

so it actually gets removed when we redeploy 😭 and I have been traumatized for the last 4 hours

You'll need to make sure it's in the appwrite.json

Events and permissions

It should be everything. Make sure everything is configured in your appwrite.json
