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
⚠️ 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
- In your EarthRanger site, create a new event type.
- Give it a Display Name of your choice.
- Set the Value to
traptagger_integration. - 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 works without a custom form.
💡 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.
