Camera won't talk to flash

I am brand new to off camera flash. I have an RP and have my Godox V860II off camera with a Godox XPro trigger. The trigger will fire the flash but the camera will not talk to the trigger. It has no radio communication. What am I doing wrong please?

The trigger communicates with the camera through the hot-shoe. Radio communication is between trigger and flash. Is you Xpro the Canon version?

Re: Camera won't talk to flash

With my EOS R7 (I'm not sure if this applies to you or not), my flash will fire only in mechanical shutter mode. Give that a try.
