Check the email address attached to an IoT alert
When an Adafruit IO alert payload includes an email address for follow-up, have Abstract check its quality and report the result automatically.
Trigger
Webhook received
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Action
Email validation and quality check
Validate email addresses and assess their deliverability and quality.
Why this helps
An invalid or low-quality address in a device alert can leave a maintenance issue without a clear follow-up contact.
- Catch malformed or disposable alert contacts early.
- Review deliverability signals without switching tools.
- Keep the validation result with the automation run report.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Adafruit IO and Abstract once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and give it a name.
- 3Describe that the email in each incoming device alert should be checked for quality and the result reported.
- 4Choose the webhook trigger and select where run reports should go.
- 5Send one real alert payload containing an email address to test the workflow.
Questions about this workflow
What information should the webhook request include?
Include an email address in the alert payload and enough context to identify the device or alert. The workflow can only check an address that the request supplies.
Does this send an email to the contact?
No. Abstract checks the supplied address and Notis reports the result. This workflow does not send outreach or notifications.
