How do you run a Python Script to update attribute information in an AGOL layer whenever the data gets edited?

ehuisman — Thu, 14 Dec 2023 17:59:30 GMT

We have a model builder that is able to calculate sequential numbers among other things. It calculates the values for data, which is hosted in AGOL. The data layer receives point deletions every day. We are wondering if it is possible to have the tool run and re-calculate the sequential values immediately following the deletion of a point, rather than schedule it to run at a given time interval. We would prefer it to run instantaneously and not run when not needed.

Thank you!

You'll want to use webhooks, serverless functions (e.g. AWS Lambda) and the ArcGIS API for Python. Here are a couple links about using webhooks:
