AAC

Action Automation Connector (AAC) is the Kaa platform component that implements the “automation executor” side of the Action Invocation Protocol (23/AIP) by listening to the Action Invocation events and sending email on every such event.

Email sending

Receiving Action Automation event, AAC expects it to have recipient, subject, and message, and in case all the fields are present, sends email via configured SMTP server.

Interfaces

AAC supports a number of interfaces to perform its functional role. The key supported interfaces are summarized in the following diagram.
