# Sigfox

This pages describes how to connect the Sigfox account to akenza. The following steps are explained in more detail:

1. [Create a Sigfox data flow](#1.-create-a-sigfox-dataflow)
2. [Create a Sigfox device on akenza](#2.-create-the-sigfox-device-on-akenza)
3. [Add a callback to a Sigfox device type](#3.-add-a-callback-to-the-sigfox-device-type)

### 1. Create a Sigfox data flow

Go to *Data Flows* and choose Sigfox as a device connector.\
Copy the *Uplink URL* and delete the last part (\&deviceId=\&topic=default). This will be used at a later stage.\
Search for the compatible Sigfox device type or create a [custom device type](/akenza.io/get-started/your-data-flow/device-type/device-type.md) and select an output connector as the data destination of the [Data Flow](/akenza.io/get-started/your-data-flow.md).

### 2. Create a Sigfox device on akenza

Go to *Assets* and proceed with the creation of a new device. 

{% hint style="warning" %}
Make sure to use the same **Device ID** as Sigfox.
{% endhint %}

### **3.** Add a callback to a Sigfox device type

Edit the device type, that your device is using on the [Sigfox backend](https://backend.sigfox.com/devicetype/list) and add a callback.

Following configurations:\
Type = DATA UPLINK\
Channel = URL\
Custom payload config = leave empty\
Url pattern = the URL you copied in Step 1\
Use HTTP Method = POST\
Send SNI = Check\
Headers = leave empty\
Content type = application/json\
Body = `{ "cmd" : "data", "device" : "{device}", "time" : {time}, "data": "{data}" }`

The Sigfox device is now connected to akenza. To check incoming data, select your device in *Assets* and view the **device detail page**.
