Redis Actions

Actions are the operations (or API operations) that you can perform on Redis by a simple drag and drop and data mapping of elements and values from input trigger, derived values using formulas or a desired constant that you may wish to map.

All of the actions that you see below automate what you can do manually on Redis.

As shown below, you can manage various types of Redis data in response to a trigger event.

Connect iPaaS supports 5 common Redis data types:

1. Hash: Redis Hashes are mapped between string fields and string values, so they are the perfect data type to represent objects (e.g. A User with a number of fields like name, surname, age, and so forth)
2. List: Redis Lists are simply lists of strings, sorted by insertion order.
3. Sets: Redis Sets are an unordered collection of Strings.
4. Sorted Sets: Redis Sorted Sets are similar to Redis Sets, non-repeating collections of Strings.
5. String: Strings are the most basic kind of Redis value. Redis Strings are binary safe; this means that a Redis string can contain any kind of data. For instance, a JPEG image or a serialized Ruby object.
