Triggering ThingSpeak Alert from ThingHTTP

I've created a ThingHTTP request with the following values:

When I invoke this using the test URL provided to the right side of the page, the response is "Unauthorized". I copy/pasted the apiKey from my key list.

What am I doing wrong?

Is your intended workjflow for a device to trigger this request? If not, I would really reccomend a MATLAB analysis script with a time control. There is a template available if you create a new MATLAB analysis, and also a complete example.

Have a look at the doc page for the send alert and then for thingHTTP, to see how to put headers in theingHTTP.

I want to trigger this from a React.

For now, I've punted and the react invokes an IFTTT action via http.

You can definitely trigger a MATLAB analysis from a react. Use the template if you need help writing the code for the alert in MATLAB analysis. The reason to use thingHTTP is if you wanted to trigger it from a device.
