TrapTagger Event Type

Part of the TrapTagger integration.

TrapTagger sends camera-trap detections to EarthRanger through Gundi. For these detections to appear as reports 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

Display Name Value
Your choice — e.g., TrapTagger Detection traptagger_integration
Important

The Value must match traptagger_integration exactly. If it doesn't, TrapTagger events will not be created in EarthRanger.

How to configure the event type

  1. In your EarthRanger site, create a new event type.
  2. Give it a Display Name of your choice.
  3. Set the Value to traptagger_integration.
  4. Assign a Category, Geometry Type, and Default Priority.
  5. Click Save.

Before setting up the Event Form tab, contact our Support team at support@earthranger.com to confirm which fields this event type needs.

Tip

TrapTagger images can be configured to trigger different event types depending on the species detected. If you're interested in this feature, reach out to Support or the Gundi team.
