Thanks for your answer Cory...&nbsp;
I forgot to mention that...I had also tried that as well but it had not worked....&nbsp;
I will again give it a try...&nbsp;

The trigger wasn't properly formatted in what you posted above.  Also, HTTP::host will only return the host IP address without any http://

You tried it before exactly as I posted above and it did not work?
