Function basics

The Debounce Period prevents the repetitive execution of functions and is disabled by default.

Even if conditions are continually met, this setting ensures the function only triggers once within a defined time period, avoiding unnecessary repetitive actions.

Give a unique name and a description for the function and click on the Next button.

Function Basics

Template configuration

  • Webhook URL: The URL of the external platform.
  • Request method: [POST, PUT, GET, DELETE]
  • Request headers: The headers for the request
  • Request body payload: The body of the request

The custom request body payload is a JSON object that is passed to the request as the body parameter.

The ${{}} syntax is used to specify the value of a property in the incoming data.

The following is an example of a custom request body.

{
  "custom_key": "Custom_Value",
  "humidity":  ${{AIR_HUMIDITY}},
  "other": ${{PUT_INCOMING_DATA_KEY}}
}
