Bring a current sensor reading into a document workflow decision
When a document workflow needs a real-world reading, have Notis check the device and fetch the analog value in the same run.
Trigger
Webhook received
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Action
Analog Read
Reads the analog value from a device pin.
Why this helps
A document workflow can depend on a current sensor reading, leaving someone to switch tools and check it manually at the wrong moment.
- Check connectivity before requesting a sensor value.
- Use a reading from the specified analog pin in a workflow decision.
- Reduce manual context switching between document and device tools.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect ActiveMerge and Bolt IoT once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and name it.
- 3Tell Notis to check the named Bolt device and read the specified analog pin when the ActiveMerge workflow milestone arrives.
- 4Pick the webhook trigger and choose where run reports should go.
- 5Send one real example webhook request and review the reported sensor reading.
Questions about this workflow
What does the analog read return?
The listed action reads an analog value from a specified pin, with readings described as 0 to 1023. The device must be online first.
Can the workflow infer a threshold?
Not from the listed event details alone. Include the decision threshold or interpretation you need in the instruction, or have Notis report the reading for review.
