New event or message is received¶

It triggers your workflow when a new event is received from the desired topic of an IoT device.

Set up Azure IoT Trigger¶

Select your IoT device from the Select an IoT device dropdown.

Based on the type of data you receive from your IoT device, select among Structured Data or Unstructured Data.

Structured Data¶

When the IoT device sends JSON formatted data you can use the keys and values of the JSON to filter the events. You can also map the values in your action application.
