Send a focused email when a device reading crosses your threshold

Why this helps
A reading that needs quick attention can be missed when nobody is watching the dashboard.
- Send an alert only when the report meets your stated threshold.
- Include the reported value and device context in the message.
- Make the next action clear to the recipient.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Adafruit IO and Agent mail once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation named Critical device reading email.
- 3In one instruction, state the threshold, recipient, and what the email should say when a report meets it.
- 4Choose the webhook trigger and select where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real report that meets the threshold and confirm the email content.
Questions about this workflow
Where does the threshold come from?
Include the threshold in your instruction. The workflow can assess the data in the webhook report, but it cannot assume a threshold that you have not provided.
Does this use an Adafruit IO trigger event?
No. Adafruit IO trigger events are not available here. A Notis webhook starts the workflow when an HTTP request arrives.
