Lesson 1: Create a New App Builder App from Template

Create a Console Integration and Set up Project

In order to use custom events CLI plugin, you need to get below information from console integration.

• IMS Org Id: The Organization Id in which the provider, event metadata, etc are to be created.
• API key: The API Key (client id) for the integration (project workspace)
• JWT Token: Note that I/O Management Service needs to be enabled for the integration
• Config.zip: Config file downloaded from console including private key and certificate_pub.crt
• project.json: for instance, projectname-orgId-Production.json file downloaded from console

1. Navigate to Adobe I/O console at https://console.adobe.io in your browser and create a project using App Builder template or using your exsiting project

2. Select Add to Project -> Add an API -> Adobe Services -> I/O managemenet API

3. Follow the steps to configure API, create a new service account (JWT) credential, config.zip will be downloaded automatically, you will need the private key to generate JWT token.

4. Go to project overview tab, download project metadata from Download button and get the needed info from this .jsonfile, or you can also get these info from .aio file in the project folder.

You will be presented with a few options, first question is "Which Adobe I/O App features do you want to enable for this project?" In this lab, we keep all of them. The second question is "Which type of sample actions do you want to create?" in this lab, we will select Generic, please remember to keep the publish-event template. Name your action, then you have created your App Builder template. Now you can use this template to start your app

In this lab, user will create a webpage using this generic template. if this is your first time to use App Builder, follow below instructions:
