Query - Integration Event

Question

I have a scenario where i have to create an opportunity team based on the data that user enters in oppportunity and it has to be done when new record is saved in opportunity object. We cannot use out of box workflow functionality in this scenario so in this case i have opted to use integration event in the workflow. I have planeed to develop a windows service which will timelly read the INtegration Event queue and will fetch the lastEventID using INtegrationservice. PLease let me know if this approach is correct or not. I am also facing another isssue. In one of my test application i am trying to fetch the last event ID using the integrationservice.I am hitting the particular event where my workflow is registered but still i am not able to get the lasteventId. Please let me know if I am missing something

Hi Akesh,
I think your scenario works fine, but in my opinion you missed the idea of the LastEventId. For your new opportunity you get an event (with the oppty key data like id and the fields you track). You will process these events to create your opportunity team (perhaps you have to add a opportunity query- depends on your use case). The LastEventId is a Id you get for every integrationevent query. You can use this id to delete all events which are included in this query, I guess... It is not event related.
