Rule Condition

Rule Action

The topic TestTopic referenced above was configured like this:

For some reason this did not fire when I uploaded a file to object storage, I verified that the topic worked (TestTopic) by manually sending a message using Publish Message, this worked and I received an e-mail notification within a minute.

After much head scratching and frustration it turned out that I needed to enable Emit Object Events on the storage bucket – once I’d enabled this it worked as expected.
