    Yes, what events are you looking to listen for?
    SnapLogic has built-in HTTP/S listener for incoming events, as well as being able to listen for events with things such as the Salesforce Publisher/Subscriber, JMS Producer/Consumer, Kafka Consumer/Producer, file poller and others.

    Hey Stewart, Can you point me to the snap that has the HTTP listener (is it the HTTP router)?
    Also, If one wants to build a custom integration (listener), how does one go about doing that? I could not find any documentation on this. Thanks!

      If you create a Triggered Task from a pipeline, it is inherently uses the HTTP listener capability in the SnapLogic platform, available on Groundplex as well as a Cloud-trigger. (and Ultra tasks for real-time tasks)
      If you actually want to build a Snap which connects persistently to an endpoint, like a messaging provider or similar, then you can look at the documentation for Snap development at developer.snaplogic.com and take a look in the section here in the community to learn more.

        Hey Stewart, Thank you for the suggested approach. The Triggered Task definitely worked for me.
        However for the custom snap that I am working on, its not working as expected. I tried the following:
        I created/implemented a snap that outputs a binary where in the execute method I created a HttpServer with appropriate context & handler. The idea being - when this snap is used in a pipeline, it will stay alive as long as the the listener is required (similar to what the SAP IDoc Listener does - https://docs-snaplogic.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/SD/pages/1438551/SAP+IDoc+Listener)
        The issue is that the snap finishes execution within few seconds.
        Any Idea how can I keep it alive? (until someone stops/suspends the pipeline)
        Thanks!
