Blynk integration how to send event

Notehub.io

Hi,
I’m using Notehub->Blynk integration. I can post sensor values to Blynk, but Is there a way to trigger Blynk configured events (email/SMS) or something else to that effect from the notecard?
Thanks,

Hi @AB89 and welcome to the Blues community!

I’m glad to hear you were able to get the Notehub/Blynk integration running successfully. Unfortunately we aren’t not too familiar with more advanced Blynk capabilities, but after a quick search it appears to me that you want to set up one of the Notification/Alerts in the Blynk platform maybe?

Hi Rob,
Yes, I can configure the notification in Blynk, but it is not much of a use if I can not trigger it through the integration. That was the question: does the integration support Blynk notifications?
Thanks.

Hi @AB89,

If Blynk exposes an API to create an alert, then yes, a Notehub route can trigger it! For example, just looking at the Content Events docs, it looks like you can route data to a Blynk-provided URL like this to trigger an event:

https://{server_address}/external/api/logEvent?token={token}&code={event_name}

Usually the logic of cloud processing happens on your cloud platform. However, you can conditionally route data to Blynk from Notehub based on data you are routing using custom JSONata transforms.

Thanks,
Rob
