Hi

Finally started working with the Edge Workflows.

Have the workflow talking to a Local Redis instance. Cool.

Only thing is I would love to be able to subscribe to a Redis channel and use it as a trigger.

That way we could deploy other code - run it, and it could trigger workflows locally by publishing to the local  
REDIS queue.

That’s an interesting idea. I’ve submitted a ticket to the dev team to investigate.

Hey @Tim_Hoffman, the Redis Trigger node just went out. Details here:

> **[Platform Update - SQL Node, Redis Trigger, Standard Deviation](https://www.losant.com/blog/platform-update-20190204)**
>
> Today’s update provides the ability to query your own SQL databases, trigger workflows using Redis Pub/Sub, and adds standard deviation as a built in aggregation type. Learn more.

Awesome news.

Thanks for getting that into the Agent.
