First event
I want to know when the job is done,
Select the G-code: Stop event with the system as the trigger. The command is this one:

--form-string "token=REPLACE_TOKEN" \
--form-string "user=REPLACE_USER" \
--form-string "message=CNC Job Done" \
--form-string "priority=1" \
--form-string "sound=bike" \
--form-string "url=http://192.168.2.43:8000/" \
