Sending Stream Activity to Firebase

We use a activity_onAfterStreamActivity event to send group notifications to Firebase for all members of the group. our issue is we cannot access the group name to send in the notification. on another post you sent me a substitution that we used for the category and I can't manipulate this to get the group name. Please help.

There is no activity_onAfterStreamActivity trigger. Did you mean activity_onAfterCreateStreamActivity? If so its variables are as follows.


$source is the source object for that activity. For GJ activity that's usually the group object. So you'd be able to get group name with [var2_name] since $source is the second variable.

Thank you that worked for the main posting, but we have another auto action which works gj_onAfterCreatePhoto, how can I get the group name of the group the photo is being created in and the id of activity for the posting of the photo?

You can't. That trigger has no knowledge of where the photo came from it's just a trigger for when a photo object is first saved. Try using gallery_onAfterCreateGalleryItem instead which has the following variables.

Same situation as the activity trigger. $var2 for this trigger is the $source. So [var2_name] should give you the group name.

Does this trigger also work if a photo is uploaded outside of a gallery like a normal photo upload in the photos tab?

It works as long as the upload was through CB Gallery. Uploads on profile of course won't have a $source of a GJ group though. You should condition the [var3_asset] to know where the gallery entry is.
