Other integrations
The The Things Stack webhooks are the simplest, most scalable methods to send and receive data to and from your external servers. If, for some reason, this is not suitable for your use case, we list a few alternatives in this section.
MQTT Server
The Things Stack exposes an MQTT server to work with streaming events. This section explains how to connect an MQTT client and subscribe to uplinks or publish downlinks.
Pub/Sub
The Pub/Sub integration allows the Application Server to publish and subscribe to topics, using The Things Stack built-in MQTT client or NATS client.
Node-RED
Node-RED is a free, JavaScript-based development tool for visual programming, developed to ease the process of wiring together hardware devices, APIs and online services.
The MQTT server that is exposed by The Things Stack can be connected to Node-RED.
IFTTT
IFTTT is a service that creates chains of conditional statements, called applets, that can be triggered by the events occurring within various web services. These applets connect multiple applications in order to run automated tasks.
