Notis

See whether connected-product users come back

Make returning-user patterns easier to review for products built around connected devices.

Trigger

Recurring schedule

Notis starts this workflow on a schedule, such as daily, weekly, or during business hours.

Action

Get User Retention Analysis

Retrieve analysis of how users return over time after a starting action.

Why this helps

Retention patterns can be hard to spot when device activity is reviewed only as isolated readings or event totals.

  • Review whether users return after a starting action
  • Make retention patterns part of a regular analytics routine
  • Keep the summary focused on available Amplitude data

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 review Amplitude retention for the chosen connected-product starting event and summarize the return pattern for the selected period.
  • 4Pick a recurring schedule and choose where run reports should go.
  • 5Test with one real example and confirm the starting event and period.

Questions about this workflow

Does retention analysis use raw Adafruit IO readings directly?

The listed action analyzes Amplitude retention. Device activity must already be represented in Amplitude events.

Can the report explain why users did not return?

Retention analysis shows return patterns, but it does not establish the reason for them.
