Step 6: Your First Behavior

This is the whole point of Palpable. A behavior is a simple rule that makes your sensors and actuators work together.

Every behavior follows this pattern:

WHEN something happens → IF conditions are met → THEN do something

Option A: Just tell PAL (fastest)

PAL is your AI assistant built into Palpable. Open your project in the app, tap the chat icon, and tell PAL what you want:

"Hey PAL, when the temperature goes above 25 degrees, send me a notification."

That's it. PAL will:

1. Figure out which sensor to use
2. Create the behavior with the right trigger and action
3. Confirm the details with you
4. Activate it immediately

You now have a working automation. When the temperature crosses 25°C, you'll get a notification on your phone.

Option B: Use the visual builder

If you prefer a hands-on approach:

1. Open the Palpable app
2. Go to your project
3. Tap Create Behavior
4. Choose a trigger: "Temperature rises above 25°C"
5. Skip conditions (tap Next) -- you can add them later
6. Choose an action: "Send push notification"
7. Give it a name and tap Save

Same result, just a different way to get there.

You did it!

Your Palpable device is now:

• Connected to your WiFi and the cloud
• Detecting sensors automatically
• Running your first behavior
• Ready for more

What's next?
