Xiaoling 22.2 63
Xiaoling 23.2 64 Since TTS is now configured to forward data to the Losant Webhook, let's create a [[Losant Application Workflow>>url:https://docs.losant.com/workflows/application-workflows/]] to receive the data from TTS.
Xiaoling 8.2 65
Xiaoling 24.2 66 Click on (% style="color:blue" %)**Workflows**(%%) and then in the Application Workflow section, click (% style="color:blue" %)**Add** (%%)to create a new Application Workflow.

If you have only one webhook in this Losant application, it will be automatically selected for the Webhook Trigger. If you have multiple webhooks, select the one that was created in Webhook. Next, click (% style="color:blue" %)**Save and Deploy**(%%).

84 When TTS receives new data from the sensor, it will send that data to Losant over the Losant Webhook and trigger this workflow. Each time this workflow runs, new data will be displayed in the Debug Panel as shown below.

Xiaoling 24.2 87 (% style="color:red" %)**Note:**(%%) If TTS is not automatically decoding your data as shown below in(% style="color:blue" %)** data.body.uplink_message.decoded_payload**(%%), then you can decode your LoRaWAN device data in this Losant Application Workflow.
