Why this helps
New device events can be difficult to analyze consistently when their names and definitions are not documented in the tracking plan.
- Document new device event names and metadata
- Keep event definitions available to the analytics team
- Reduce the effort of adding event types manually
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Adafruit IO and Amplitude once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and give it a name.
- 3Tell Notis to create an Amplitude event type only when a webhook explicitly describes a new event and supplies its name and available metadata.
- 4Pick the webhook trigger and choose where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real event-definition payload and review the created event type.
Questions about this workflow
Will the workflow create an event type for every reading?
No. Use it for webhook payloads that describe a new event definition, not routine readings.
Can it assign a category?
The action supports associating an event with a category, but the category must be available and supported by the action. Include the intended category in the supplied information.
