Gundi reads observations from iNaturalist and shares them as events in EarthRanger. For these events to appear in EarthRanger, your site must have an event type whose Value matches the identifier the integration uses. This article shows you exactly how to set it up.
Required event type
💡 Tips
1. Make sure the token used for the integration has permissions to the Event Category hosting this event type (e.g., Monitoring). Without it, the events will not be created in EarthRanger.
2. You can use a different Value for this event type. Just configure the same identifier in your Gundi Connection.

How to configure the event type
- In your EarthRanger site, create a new event type.
- Give it a Display Name of your choice.
- Set the Value to
inat_observation. - Assign a Category, Geometry Type, and Default Priority.
- Click Save.
You don't need to fill in anything on the Event Form tab — the integration will generate the form for you.
