Actions are used to define which action should be triggered when data arrive in the sender. Rules are used to define under which circumstances should these actions be triggered.
Automated Actions
By using automated actions, users choose what to do with the data. In other words, they choose what should be the output. There are 5 different actions available:
- BellaDati REST
- Save to file
- MQTT publish
- HTTP request
Users can choose one or more action. However, each action has to be different.
