Step6-Configure Salesforce Credentials as below.

    

    Provide username and password. If you have security token then please provide.

Step8-Add logger as below screenshot. Set message as #[payload. payload will display all attributes which event is publishing.

Step9-Save the project and run.

Step10-Create/Publish Cloud_News__e using Process Builder/Apex Class/API/Anonymous code. Below is the example.
