1.Catch incoming sensor payload
Integrate Webhooks by Zapier and routing tools to catch incoming sensor payloads and expose device, alert, and time fields to your workflow.
Send sensor inactivity alerts to email and channel
Automatically catch incoming sensor payloads across Webhooks by Zapier, Formatter by Zapier, Zapier Tables, SMTP by Zapier, and Slack. Get instant alerts when devices go inactive, last reports go stale, or authorized alerts arriveβso you can send ops emails, post team messages, and reduce manual triage.
How this automation protects uptime response speed
When sensor inactivity goes unnoticed, operations lose time to respond to affected devices. This automation catches sensor payloads, extracts the site tag, finds the matching record, then sends email and posts a channel alertβso your team acts fast.

Without Zapier, we would have needed well over 100 employees today just to do what we're doing. We would have been out of business by now.
David Laderberg, VP of Sales
Without having automation, we would have to at least be double our size. Doubling is a bit of a euphemism β I think we would have died or fallen back into oblivion.
Marcelo Lebre, Co-Founder
Zapier helps us close far above 50% more deals than we would without it. It is a key element of our overall strategy and, therefore, of our sales pitch.
Raphael Bochner, Founder and CIO
Zapier gives us unlimited flexibility and creativity. With Zapier, you're like an artist with a blank canvas. I don't know what we'd do without it.
