Add context when a reading needs attention
Keep a noteworthy reading and its follow-up context together on the related Airtable record.
Trigger
Webhook received
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Action
Create Comment
Creates a new comment on a specific record within an airtable base and table.
Why this helps
A critical value can lose its context when it is discussed separately from the device record.
- Keep a brief explanation with the relevant record.
- Make unusual updates easier to review later.
- Keep follow-up context near the device history.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Adafruit IO and Airtable once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and give it a name.
- 3Tell Notis what counts as critical, how to find the related record, and what context to add as a comment.
- 4Choose the webhook trigger and select where run reports should go.
- 5Send one real critical reading to test the workflow.
Questions about this workflow
What record receives the comment?
The instruction should explain how to identify an existing record in the chosen Airtable base and table.
