Did you know you can utilize the Losant MQTT Broker to trigger other workflows? Using an [MQTT Output Node](https://docs.losant.com/workflows/outputs/mqtt/) with the topic set to `alert`, I can trigger an [MQTT Trigger Node](https://docs.losant.com/workflows/triggers/mqtt/) that kicks off another workflow!
