Why this helps
When an alert arrives, updating subscriber details by hand adds another follow-up to an already busy day.
- Create or update a group member when a webhook request includes their contact details.
- Keep subscriber updates tied to the incoming device alert context.
- Reduce manual contact maintenance during device incidents.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Adafruit IO and ActiveTrail in Notis once.
- 2Create an automation in Notis and describe updating the alert subscriber in ActiveTrail.
- 3Choose the webhook trigger and specify the group and contact details the request should include.
- 4Choose where run reports go, then test with one real alert request.
Questions about this workflow
Does Adafruit IO provide a native Notis trigger for this workflow?
No. Start it with a Notis webhook and have an external tool or custom backend send an HTTP request when the relevant Adafruit IO alert occurs.
What should the request contain?
Include the subscriber's email and any contact details to create or update, plus enough context for Notis to identify the intended ActiveTrail group.
Will this send an email campaign?
No. It creates or updates a group member. Sending campaigns is a separate action.
