Vault Job Queue

Starts a workflow when Autodesk Vault places a job on the job queue, resolving the associated file, item, folder, or custom entity before passing it downstream.

Purpose

Use this trigger to integrate workflows with the Autodesk Vault job queue mechanism. When Vault raises a job for a file, item, folder, or custom entity, the trigger connects to Vault, resolves the full object and its properties, and routes execution down the appropriate output branch. This makes it straightforward to build lifecycle automation — such as exporting files, updating external systems, or sending notifications — that runs automatically as part of standard Vault operations.

Inputs

This trigger has no configurable inputs.

Outputs

The trigger routes to one of five outputs depending on the entity type associated with the job queue entry. Only the relevant output branch executes.

Name	Description
File	Taken when the job is associated with a Vault file. Outputs File Identifier, vFile (the Vault file object), and VaultFilePropValues (a dictionary of all file property values).
Item	Taken when the job is associated with a Vault item. Outputs Item Identifier and vItem (the Vault item object).
Folder	Taken when the job is associated with a Vault folder. Outputs Folder Identifier and vFolder (the Vault folder object).
CustEnt	Taken when the job is associated with a Vault custom entity. Outputs Custom Entity Id and vCustEnt (the Vault custom entity object).
Other	Taken when the job entry does not match any of the above entity types. Any additional parameters from the job are passed through as-is.
