Setting up automated notifications in MobiusFlow can be done in just a few steps using inbuilt node-red, first you'd need to:
Select a trigger, identify the event or condition that should trigger the notification, such as when a status change happens or if a device fails.
Choose notification method: You can send notifications via email, SMS, or integrate with messaging platforms like Slack. using the relevant Node.
Configure the message: Customise the content of the notification. For example, you might want to include details like the device name, its status, and a current connectivity.
Define recipients: Specify who should receive the notification, whether it's a single user, a team, or specific roles.
Test the setup: Once configured, run a test to ensure the notifications are sent as expected.
Notifications can be set up for a wide variety of events and help keep all relevant parties in the loop without having to manually check workflow statuses.
There are loads of options for this. We have customers using services such as PushBullet, OneSignal and Courier, email via their own email servers or Gmail, automatically creating work orders in platforms such as IBM Maximo, or even creating their own web hooks directly inside MobiusFlow.
If there is an open API or standard interface, MobiusFlow will work with it!
