Create invoice drafts from Adafruit IO usage reports

- Turn a device usage webhook into an Altoviz draft invoice.
- Keep reported usage and billing details together in one instruction.
- Review the invoice draft in Altoviz before finalizing it.

- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and give it a name.
- 3In plain language, tell Notis to create an Altoviz draft invoice from billable usage in the webhook, using customer, product, quantity, and pricing details provided in the payload or instruction.
- 4Pick the webhook trigger and choose where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real usage report and review the resulting draft in Altoviz.
Questions about this workflow
Does Adafruit IO provide a trigger event for this workflow?
No. Start it with a Notis webhook and have your device service or connected backend send an HTTP request when it has a billable usage report.
Can Notis infer the price from telemetry?
Only if the needed rate and billing rules are supplied in the instruction or webhook payload. The workflow should not guess missing prices or customer details.
Will the invoice be finalized automatically?
The Altoviz action creates a draft sale invoice. Review and finalize it in Altoviz.
