TIPs:
Mistakes:
One of the first Mistakes I already created an example for was posted within the first evening as “Example” on Facebook
Two triggers to start an ALL
Also applies to all other different triggers b̶e̶h̶i̶n̶d̶ before an ALL like “Someone came Home” AND “the door is opened” => That is NOT going to trigger NEVER!
That only works with an ANY function!
Multiple triggers (< ANY >) for a Condition/Action in One Trigger
By design within one Trigger, all cards can start (Maximum) one time,
So < ANY > = < Delay 0 Sec > = connecting all incoming directly to a < Condition or Action Card >
Below you see one trigger (blue line) reaching the Action “Create a Notification with” (from Delay 1 sec.) the other Blue lines “Bounce” and are only colored half way.
So only ONE Timeline Notification, not Two or 4 Notifications as you see.
