Working with Object Status
Status Events in Workflows
Objects that provide a Status Parameter can generate dedicated status events in workflows.
To access these events, drag the object itself into the Workflow Editor. The event selection menu will appear and typically includes several status-related events.
In many cases, status events appear near the end of the event list.
Predefined Status Events
Some objects provide specific status events that react to individual status changes.
Examples may include events such as:
Status Connected
Status Live
Status Disconnected
The available events depend on the object type and its implementation.
For example:
objects that do not provide Maps will usually not have a Status Live event
connection-based devices may provide events such as Status Connected or Status Disconnected
These events trigger only when the object enters the corresponding state.
Status Change Event
In addition to specific status events, workflows also provide a general Status Change event.
This event is triggered whenever the status of the object changes.
Filtering Status States
The Status Change event includes an internal filter that allows selecting which status changes should trigger the event.
To configure this filter:
Add the Status Change event to the workflow.
Select the event node.
Open the Inspector.
Click the States parameter.
A list of available status types will appear.
From this list, individual states can be enabled or disabled.
The event will only trigger when the object's status changes to one of the enabled states.
This allows workflows to react to multiple status conditions using a single event node.
