# Elements of the flow - Connection status changed

The `Connection status changed` trigger allows you to start a flow as soon as the status of one of your connections such as WDX3 changes. You can then, for example, notify selected people about the incident during the course of the flow with [Send email](https://docs.groupalarm.com/en/article/elements-of-the-flow-send-email-1ilhitw/) or [Send messenger message](https://docs.groupalarm.com/en/article/elements-of-the-flow-send-messenger-message-11jzv0i/). The type, name and status of the respective connection can be called up in the elements that follow.

Only the connection needs to be selected for the configuration. And as with all elements of the flow, you can also optionally assign your own name for the trigger.
