See a Backendless counter value alongside device events
Bring a useful operational count into the same review as a device update.
Trigger
Webhook received
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Action
Get Counter Value
Retrieve the current value of a counter.
Why this helps
A device event can require context from a separate counter that is easy to forget to check.
- Retrieve the current value of a specified Backendless counter.
- Pair the counter value with the incoming event details.
- Reduce the number of places to check during a review.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Adafruit IO and Backendless once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and give it a clear name.
- 3Describe which Backendless counter to retrieve and how to summarize it with the event.
- 4Choose the webhook trigger and send relevant device event payloads to its HTTP endpoint.
- 5Choose a report channel, then test with one real event and a known counter.
