The Resource Cloned Event is published for every successful external resource cloning of resources input in a Copy Resources flow action. This event is particularly useful in scenarios where the cloning of Resources needs to initiate downstream processes or workflows.

To use CloudFiles Platform Events, you must first setup your platform event triggered flow as shown in the CloudFiles Event Handler Flow Template. This article will introduce you to the concepts of the event type in the CloudFiles Event Object as well as event details that are returned by the Get Event Details flow action.

Once you are familiar with these, you will understand how to interpret & use these as illustrated in the sections below.

Please use resource-cloned as the type filter when selecting this event in the decision element in flow builder.

The corresponding Get Event Details flow action returns the Resource Cloned sub-type with useful information including the input External Storage Resource, created/cloned External Storage Resource metadata details and RecordId (i.e. Input RecordId Text string from the corresponding Copy Resources action).

Refer to the image below for a list of outputs and descriptions of the parameters returned in this sub-type.
