Turn incoming text into a serial device message
Start with freeform request text. Notis can process it with Abstract and send the resulting ASCII message to your Bolt device.
Trigger
Webhook received
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Action
Bolt IoT Serial Write
Sends serial data to a device.
Why this helps
Rewriting a request into a device-ready message by hand adds friction and can introduce avoidable mistakes.
- Process request text before transmission.
- Send the result as ASCII over UART.
- Keep the source request and send outcome in one run report.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Abstract and Bolt IoT once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and give it a name and prompt.
- 3Tell Notis to process the webhook text into the intended ASCII message and send it to the specified Bolt device.
- 4Choose the webhook trigger and select where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real message on a device with UART initialized.
Questions about this workflow
Does this action return the device's response?
No. The listed serial write action transmits ASCII data over UART. Use the serial write and read action if you need to capture an immediate reply.
What needs to be set up on the Bolt device?
UART must be initialized before sending serial data.
