Redis automation with Bizomate

Your own apps already read Redis for caches, counters and queues. Bizomate writes to it from any workflow — set a key with an expiry, count an event, push a job onto a list, publish a message — and reads it back to decide what happens next. Every run leaves a record of what it read and wrote.

What a workflow can do with it

Get
Reads the value kept under a key

Set
Keeps a value under a key, for a time if you like

Leave Expires after (seconds) empty and the key never expires. A list or object from an earlier step is kept as JSON.

Delete
Removes a key and what it holds

One key, as written; a pattern is not expanded.

Increment
Adds to the number kept under a key

By 1 unless you say otherwise; a negative number takes away, and a decimal works too.

Push to a list
Adds a value to one end of a list

Pop from a list
Takes the value off one end of a list

Get keys
The keys that match a pattern

* matches anything. 1,000 keys by default, up to 10,000.

Publish
Sends a message to everyone subscribed to a channel

Hash set
Keeps a value in one field of a hash

Hash get
Reads one field of a hash

How you connect it

Type the Host, the Port if it isn't 6379, the Password and the Database number — empty is 0. Encryption stays Encrypted (TLS) unless the server has none. Or paste a whole redis:// or rediss:// address into Host; it then gives the port, password, TLS and database itself. The server must be on the public internet; if it lets in only the addresses it lists, add the ones in the connect article. Bizomate tests the connection with a ping before saving it, and checks every server it uses — the one you name and every node a cluster names — refusing addresses on private networks.

The password is encrypted before it is saved, used only when a step runs or a test connects, and never shown again — not to you, your colleagues or Bizomate support. It belongs to one workspace, the Code step cannot read it, and revoking the connection wipes it at once.

Questions about Redis

Which Redis services work?

Redis Cloud, Upstash, Azure Cache for Redis, Amazon ElastiCache with a public address, or a Redis server of your own — any of them, as long as it is on the public internet.

Can a change in Redis start a workflow?

No. Redis has no trigger in Bizomate. Start the workflow with a schedule, a webhook or another app, and use the Redis steps inside it.

Does Bizomate send admin commands to my server?

No. The steps read and write keys, lists, hashes and channels; admin commands are never sent.

Does it work with a Redis cluster?

Yes. A cluster has only database 0, so leave Database empty. Every node the cluster names is checked first, and one on a private network is refused.
