ROS Triggers#

This section walks you through how to create a trigger to automatically process ROS logs.

Triggers allow you to run actions whenever new files are uploaded to your Roboto account.

During sign-up, you may have opted to automatically create a trigger in your account. If so, there’s no need to create a new one—just ensure it’s enabled.

  1. Go to your account’s triggers page: Triggers

  2. Look for a trigger named ros_log_ingestion_trigger. If it’s there, ensure the toggle button is switched to enabled (green).
