Why this helps
A device issue can be acknowledged once and then lose its follow-up when the day gets busy.
- Start a Backendless timer after a qualifying event.
- Use a schedule and server-side code that you supply.
- Make a follow-up step part of the event response.
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 the event condition, timer name, schedule, and server-side code you want used.
- 4Choose the webhook trigger and send qualifying device event payloads to its HTTP endpoint.
- 5Choose a report channel, then test with one real event using a safe timer configuration.
Questions about this workflow
Can Notis write the timer's server-side code for me?
The timer requires code. Supply the code you want used and verify it for your Backendless environment.
Does this create a timer for every reading?
Your instruction can limit timer creation to a qualifying event. State the condition clearly.
