Hi Renuka Patil​ In general; one event cannot trigger other event.

Could you please share your usecase in detail.

You can perform the action on click of button.

For example; originally; the extension event had to perform something. You can bind the Button click event to perform same.

Please share the detail why there is a need to trigger the other event so that we can suggest you further.

Hi Renuka Patil​,

I believe by "extension event" you mean "event on extension entity (Thing)"? If yes, you can create a service that fires an event on a specific Thing:

var params = {
     // params can differ
     // use Entities tab to find out the correct params
};
Things["ThingName"].EventName(params);

Add this service to your mashup and invoke by Clicked event from a button.

Hope this helps.

Regards,

J.
