Ways Notis can move work from Abstract to Bolt iot

View example

Check the Bolt device before a contact alert

When a webhook arrives with an email address and device ID, validate the email with Abstract and check whether the Bolt device is online before reporting the result.

View example

Read a Bolt sensor after an incoming request

Use an incoming webhook to ask Notis to check Bolt device availability and read an analog sensor value for a specified pin.

View example

Get a scheduled Bolt sensor snapshot

On a recurring schedule, have Notis check whether a Bolt device is online and read one specified analog pin for a periodic snapshot.

View example

Send a device signal for a validated contact

When a webhook includes a contact email and Bolt device details, validate the email with Abstract before asking Bolt IoT to set a specified digital pin high or low.

View example

Send a Bolt command and capture its reply

Start with a webhook request, use Abstract to process its text into a concise command, then send ASCII over Bolt UART and capture the immediate response.

View example

Collect Bolt serial data on a schedule

At a chosen recurring time, have Notis check device availability and retrieve serial data from a Bolt device whose UART has already been initialized.

View example

Send processed request text to Bolt over UART

Process text included in an incoming webhook with Abstract, then send the resulting ASCII message to a specified Bolt device over UART.

View example

Process a request before setting a Bolt output

Use Abstract to process text from a webhook into a clear device instruction, then set a specified Bolt digital pin high or low.

Trigger Types

Four ways to start an automation.

A trigger is the event that kicks a workflow off. Notis supports four kinds: an event in a connected app, an inbound webhook, a recurring schedule, and soon, your own database.

Integration triggers

Fire when something happens inside a connected app. New Notion page, Stripe charge, Linear issue: any of 1,000+ apps can start a workflow.

New Notion pageStripe chargeCalendar event

Webhook triggers

A unique URL per workflow. Anything that can send an HTTP POST can start an automation, including no-code tools that speak webhooks.

Recurring triggers

Cron-style schedules run a workflow on the clock. Daily standups, hourly syncs, business-hours-only digests: the workhorse of Notis.

Database triggers

Watch a row, query, or threshold in your own database and fire the moment the data changes. Row inserted, value crosses a limit, query starts matching.

Why AI automation

Classic automation breaks. AI adapts.

Same triggers and actions, smarter middle. AI handles the fuzziness that breaks traditional Zapier-style workflows the moment a field gets renamed.
