Make Adafruit IO readings easier for Botpress to use
Send a device reading to a Notis webhook and have Botpress process it into a consistent format for your agent workflows.
Trigger
Webhook received
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Action
BOTPRESS_RUN_VRL
Runs a VRL script on input data to transform or process it.
Why this helps
Device readings can arrive in inconsistent formats, making them harder to interpret and reuse in an AI workflow.
- Standardize incoming device readings before using them in Botpress
- Validate or reshape data with a VRL script
- Reduce manual cleanup between IoT devices and AI workflows
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Adafruit IO and Botpress once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and give it a name.
- 3In one instruction, describe how Botpress should process the incoming reading with VRL and what output you need.
- 4Choose a Notis webhook trigger and select where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real Adafruit IO reading sent to the webhook.
Questions about this workflow
Does Adafruit IO provide a trigger event for this automation?
No Adafruit IO trigger events are available here. A Notis webhook starts the automation when an HTTP request containing the reading reaches it.
What data can the VRL step process?
It can process the data supplied in the webhook request. The device reading and any context needed for transformation must be included in that request.
Does this create or update a Botpress bot?
No. This workflow runs a VRL script against input data; it does not change bot configuration.
