Executing Actions from a Data Object in Pimcore
Starting an action from a data object is the most direct way to execute Requestador for a single Pimcore item.
Use this approach when you want to:
-
generate or update content for one object
-
test a configuration on a single record
-
review the result immediately on the object itself
Step 1: Open the data object
In Pimcore, navigate to the relevant data object and open it.
Make sure the object belongs to the class for which the Requestador configuration was created.
Step 2: Review the source fields
Before starting the action, confirm that the source fields required by the Requestador configuration contain valid input data.
Examples:
-
product name
-
article description
-
technical description
-
language-related values
If required input fields are empty, the action may fail or return incomplete results.
Step 3: Start the action
Use the Start Action option in the Pimcore object toolbar.
Select the desired Requestador configuration or action, depending on how the interface is set up in your environment.
Step 4: Wait for execution
Pimcore sends the configured input values to Requestador using the selected configuration.
Requestador executes the linked action and returns the result.
Step 5: Review the updated object
Once execution has finished, verify that:
-
the action ran successfully
-
the expected fields were updated
-
localized fields were written to the correct language
-
the generated content matches the expected structure and quality
Typical use cases
Use data object execution for:
-
generating short and long descriptions
-
translating a single object
-
generating category suggestions
-
validating a new configuration on one object before broader use
