Why this helps
The right device guide may exist already but be hard to locate during an interruption.
- Inspect a specified Backendless storage directory.
- Use device details from the event to focus the file review.
- Make existing documentation easier to locate during troubleshooting.
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 directory to inspect and what documentation is relevant to the device event.
- 4Choose the webhook trigger and send device event payloads to its HTTP endpoint.
- 5Choose a report channel, then test with one real event and a directory containing known files.
Questions about this workflow
Does this action open or edit files?
No. Directory Listing retrieves a listing from the specified path. It does not edit file contents.
Can it find documentation by device model?
It can surface relevant listed files when the model or lookup criteria are available in your instruction or event payload.
