How to make an Alert trigger an Event

[chrish]

I'd like to have an Alert tied to a Property of a Thing that when the Property changes the Alert will trigger an Event on the Thing. I need to bind this Event in a Mashup to trigger another widget's event.

Any pointers?  Examples and screenshots VERY welcome!

Hi Chris

On Thingworx  7.2.5 or higher, In Mashup builder there is a service property on GetProperties called “Automatically update values when able.” A possible workaround may be to add a property to a thing so that whenever this property changes,bind the event to the "ServiceInvokedCompleted" whatever event you want to fire and automatically t the mashup will update.
