Folder actions

These device actions are easy to use and very suitable when you want to use Action batches in your content.

They are usually triggered by an event like a command being sent to a device.
When that event occurs, the device makes an HTTP request to the URL configured for the action.
To separate API calls from each other, you have to create individual API keys for each action.
