Hi Robert,

Thanks for the reply. 'get_responses' method return a list of dictionaries and 
'send_to_output' method takes each element of the list and simultaneously posts 
it to an API end point.

My question is I just need to send a signal(write a message 'process completed' 
) to pubsub topic2 only after completion of send_to_output step (i.e. after 
processing entire list from before step).

If I add it after last step like below, I suspect it would write message for 
every element of the list. Is there any way that I can do it only once at the 
end?

beam.Map(lambda output: send_to_output(output)) | 'process completed' >> 
beam.io.WriteStringsToPubSub(topic=known_args.output_topic)

Regards,
Anjana

Your code below looks fine so far. I'm assuming your send_to_output
function produces the message that you want to send to topic2, right?
(BTW, you can write beam.Map(send_to_topic) rather than having to
write beam.Map(lambda output: send_to_output(output)).)

In that case, you just need to add

    data | beam.io.WriteStringsToPubSub(topic2)
