Route device maintenance requests to AppDrag

Give a deliberate maintenance request a direct path to the AppDrag function responsible for the resource change.

Trigger

Webhook received

Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.

Action

Execute Cloud Backend function via DELETE

Executes a cloud backend function in the default environment.

Why this helps

Maintenance actions can get buried between a device alert and the manual backend work needed to respond.

  • Start a backend action from a structured maintenance request.
  • Pass the request to an AppDrag function using DELETE.
  • Keep the maintenance trail tied to the webhook run report.

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect Adafruit IO and AppDrag once in the Notis portal.
  • 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and name it.
  • 3Tell Notis to call the appropriate AppDrag Cloud Backend function via DELETE for a valid maintenance request and its resource identifier.
  • 4Pick the webhook trigger and choose where run reports should go.
  • 5Test with one approved maintenance example and inspect the function result.

Questions about this workflow

Can the workflow issue DELETE from a routine sensor reading?

It should run only when the webhook carries a clear maintenance request and the target resource identifier.

Which environment does this action use?

This action runs the Cloud Backend function on the default environment. Use the AppDrag function intended for that environment.
