Get an event to trigger a flow

eslaghuis

I am sorry for the noob question.
I have added a device to Wia, and configured it to the level where I can see 1436 events under the events tab. (It is a Arduino Feather that sends a voltage level via LoraWan and the The Things Network integrated to Wia ).
I am now trying to use Wia to send me an alert email if my voltage is below a threshold. (Much like the potplant moisture example).
I have added a flow, and a "Event Created" trigger. Under configure the trigger, I selected my device (the only one I have configured). I also gave this event a random name.
I added a send mail action, to just send me a "it happened" email. (Both title and content). Then I lineked the two together.

If I test my flow, the email is sent.

Now I wait, but unfortunately nothing :-(

Is there something I must do to "activate" my flow?

Hey!
Happy to help

The event name you enter should be the same as the one being sent by the device i.e. if you create an "Event Created" trigger with the event name "temperature" this will only trigger for events called "temperature".

If you would like us to look into this further for you feel free to ping us on the Intercom chat in the bottom right corner.

Hope this helps!

Cheers,

Thank you for the help. I thought that linking the event to the device would have been good enough. I corrected the name, now I am being spammed with email! Better change that now.

Thank you for the speedy response.
