New Event from IoT Device

A workflow is triggered when a new event is received by MQTT from the desired topic of an IoT device.

Setting up Trigger for your Workflow

After selecting MQTT as the trigger below, you have to fill the IoT Device Topic for the selected trigger. Then you can check events for structured or unstructured type data coming from the devices. Make sure you have configured your IoT device too.

1. Structured data contains JSON format data, to listen to events on the topic mentioned above you can add one or more property and its type as key-value pair.
