Hi there,  
we use TTN where we have a variety of Gateways and Applications (containing devices).  
If I do it manually it will take me months, so it needs to be via scripting/workflows.  
I want to import them into Losant with the corresponding Applications and Gateways + Devices.  
It sounds to me I will have to leverage all the API of TTN to import them via a Workflow into the corresponding entities.  
So I am asking whether somebody in the tech team or community has written a module I can re-use without going through the pain of doing it myself.  
Thanks!

Hey @Paolo_Proxy,

I don’t have anything to send over right now, but I will follow up with you if someone does pass something my way.

Just out of curiosity, are you using, or did you start from, the [TTN Application Template](https://docs.losant.com/templates/the-things-network/)? How are you ingesting data from TTN if not? With some additional context, I might be able to provide some guidance on how to build the workflow to automate this process.

Thank you,  
Heath

Hi there, yes I did see the TTN Application Template, but for example I would need to auto generate first all my devices via TTN APIs and add the attribute dev\_id automatically just to mention one task.

Yes all data is ingested via TTN right now, for future deployment I would also be interested in feeding my Lora gateway data directly into your Lorawan Server (but I couldn’t find an info is this already possible)?

Cheers.
