Send a Bolt serial message when your workflow needs it
Use an incoming request to send the ASCII message you specify to a Bolt device over UART.
Trigger
Webhook received
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Action
Bolt IoT Serial Write
Tool to send serial data to a bolt device. use when you need to transmit ascii data over uart after initializing uart with serialbegin.
Why this helps
When a device needs a serial instruction, remembering the exact message and finding the right tool adds friction.
- Send an ASCII message when a request arrives
- Keep the device and message instruction in one prompt
- Review the action in a run report
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Ably and Bolt IoT once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation named On-demand serial message.
- 3Tell Notis: Send the specified ASCII data to the specified Bolt device over UART.
- 4Choose the webhook trigger and where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real device after UART has been initialized with serialbegin.
Questions about this workflow
What data does the serial write send?
It sends ASCII data over UART to a specified Bolt device.
What must be ready before sending?

Bolt IoT Digital Write
Tool to set a digital pin high or low on a specified bolt device. use when controlling actuators or leds via digital output.
Check Bolt device online status
Tool to check whether a specified bolt device is online. use when you need to verify device connectivity before sending commands (e.g., control signals). example: 'check if device bolt1234567 is online.'
