How can i automatically send the data from thethingsnetwork Live data Inbox to a Webhook and further forward to an eMail alert. My Sensor is an ELV (ELV-Elektronik) LW-Mob Motion Button. I tried to make it with Datacake, but i couldn’t fix it, because my sensor is not in the datacake preset list and besides does not show how to work with thethingsnetwork, i want to use thethingsnetwork because there are so many existing gateways here in Germany. Which one is the easiest webbhook? I did not find a solution anywhere, i’m a beginner with Lorawan, my sensor is already working successful :-). ---

Almost all solutions are going to involve some coding. The best control is having a VPS and using some code to accept a web hook submission and have it send an email. Or you could look at IFTTT which can parse JSON and then you can make decisions & act upon it.
