Automate the Little Things: ECA

Time Slot
Sun 1:30pm to 2:30pm (10/13/24)
Room
MGH 231

Learn how to customize your Drupal site without code, how to reduce your maintenance costs, and even install fewer contrib modules by adding the ECA Suite (Event, Condition, Action).

In this session

  • Identify the problem. Small customizations require:
    • compromise in business requirements
    • reliance on backend developers
    • unsupported contrib modules
    • extra deployments
  • Introduce ECA: visual "no-code" editor for Drupal.
  • Teach ECA basics, introduce BPMN for visual editing.
  • Show ECA integrations with nearly all popular Drupal ecosystems.
  • Share real-world examples of ECA models.
  • Combine ECA models + Recipes to quickly add functionality to any site.

ECA enables seasoned Drupal developers all the way down to non-coders to add bespoke functionality and make changes in production (if you allow them to). At the same time, it embraces everything coders love about Drupal: content types, entity relationships, Events, plugins, configuration, deployability, modularity, flexibility. Come learn how this modern tool is quickly becoming a must-have on every Drupal site!
