Heikin Ashi Red to Green and Green to Red?

In ThinkScript is there a way to write Heikin Ashi Candles turning from Red to Green and separately from Green to Red? The goal is to come away with two scripts that can be used in TOS conditional orders as well as scanning. I have both in PCF but no clue how to in ThinkScript. Many thanks Steve

Good evening fellow traders and coders. I’m looking to see if it is possible to set alerts when using heiken ashi candles where the trend flips from bullish to bearish and vice versa. If so, can someone please create a script where alerts are sent notifying of those trend changes?
 
@BenTen thank you for the reference. This is ideally what I’m looking for. How would this be coded if I wanted to remove the candles and instead add alerts when the trend changes as a text as well as a possible scan to give me messages when certain stocks are showing trend changes for both upside and downside?
