Create a source only if item leaves a specific slot

Hello,

I'm trying to create a source only if an item leaves the third level. Or if it is possible with slotnr/baynr it will work for me too.

Can anyone help?

Listen to the "On Slot Exit" event in an Event-Triggered Source and specify the level ID which the slot must have in order for a token to be created. Then create an item with that token in Process Flow.
(You can assign the exiting item to a label on the token to copy its label and possibly assign them to a new item later. And what you show in your screenshot is technically the 4th level - the 1st level is on the ground.)

Hi @Felix Möhlmann. My source doesn't make a token when I used your method.

I want the source to create a token when there is an item placed on the top level.

Sorry, I was wrong about the levelID. Gravity Flow Racks start counting at 0 by default, so the top level's ID is 3 in your case.
