Keep device telemetry with the incident
When new telemetry helps explain an open issue, add the reading and device context to its incident so the team can follow the investigation in one place.
Trigger
Webhook received
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Action
Create Incident Comment
Adds a comment to an incident.
Why this helps
Useful device readings often arrive after an incident starts, leaving responders to copy details between tools or lose them in a separate feed.
- Adds incoming device context to the existing incident timeline.
- Keeps follow-up readings alongside investigation notes.
- Avoids manually copying telemetry into incident comments.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Better Stack in Notis and configure an external sender or backend to post relevant telemetry and the existing incident ID to a Notis webhook.
- 2Create an automation in Notis and give it a clear incident update name.
- 3Tell Notis to add a comment to the identified Better Stack incident with the device, feed, reading, and timestamp supplied in the request.
- 4Choose the webhook trigger and where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real telemetry update for an existing incident.
Questions about this workflow
Does this create a new incident?
No. It adds a comment to an existing incident. The incoming request needs to identify that incident.
Can Notis read Adafruit IO history by itself?
No Adafruit IO trigger or history retrieval event is listed for this package. The external sender must include the telemetry details in its webhook request.
