In the below example, we will explain how to send variables from Apps ( in this case with Vaxtor LPR) via Ip-Notify using RAW TCP/IP.

This feature is available since firmware 7.3.1 using the following workaround via Events-\>Action-\>IPNotify Profile

- enable Vaxtor App and Enable MxMessage
- copy **JSON Template** in Reporting section also to **MxMessage Template**

Note 1 : **do not use $image$ in template. IP Notify will truncate the messages after around 800 bytes**.  
Note 2 : You can find more variables here : [Vaxtor ALPR ADR - Available variables to customize MxMessages / 3rd Party reporting - MOBOTIX 7 Certified Apps / Vaxtor Apps - MOBOTIX Community](https://community.mobotix.com/t/vaxtor-alpr-adr-available-variables-to-customize-mxmessages-3rd-party-reporting/4674)

- add IP Notify profile in Admin Menu \> IP Notify Profiles

  - enter designated destination address and port
  - Data protocol: Raw TCP/IP
  - Data Type: Plain Text **(\<-- important, not JSON)**
