Route alert recipients into an ActiveTrail group
Make sure the right people are grouped for follow-up when a device alert request includes their contact information.
Trigger
Webhook received
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Action
Add Group Member
Adds a contact to a group, creating the contact if needed.
Why this helps
Manually enrolling contacts during an alert can leave the right people out of the follow-up group.
- Add a provided contact to a specified ActiveTrail group.
- Carry optional contact details from the request into the group membership.
- Make alert-related contact routing a repeatable step.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Adafruit IO and ActiveTrail in Notis once.
- 2Create an automation and tell Notis to add the request's contact to the intended ActiveTrail group.
- 3Choose the Notis webhook trigger and define what information the request will provide.
- 4Choose where run reports go, then test with one real request for a contact who should be enrolled.
Questions about this workflow
How does the alert start the automation?
Adafruit IO has no listed Notis trigger event. An external tool or custom backend must send an HTTP request to the Notis webhook when the alert condition occurs.
Does this create a contact if they are not already in ActiveTrail?
This action adds a member to a group. Use the request's context to ensure the contact is ready for that action; the separate create-or-update group member action is available when you need that behavior.
Can Notis decide which group to use?
Describe the group choice in the automation prompt and provide the needed group context in the request. Notis automations use instructions rather than field-mapping setup screens.
