Keep chatbot status current when a device alert arrives
Send a clear device status into a BotStar bot attribute when your connected system reports an alert.
Trigger
Webhook received
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Action
Update Bot Attribute
Updates a bot attribute’s description or value.
Why this helps
A chatbot may give outdated guidance if the current equipment status remains buried in a separate IoT dashboard.
- Update a selected BotStar bot attribute from status details in the webhook request.
- Give bot behavior a concise current status value to reference.
- Avoid manually refreshing chatbot context after each incoming alert.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Adafruit IO and BotStar once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and name it.
- 3In one instruction, tell Notis how to interpret the incoming alert and update the existing BotStar bot attribute with the status.
- 4Choose the webhook trigger and select where run reports should go.
- 5Send one real alert example and verify the attribute value in BotStar.
Questions about this workflow
Does this create the bot attribute?
No. This workflow updates an existing bot attribute. Create that attribute in BotStar before running the automation.
What alert details can it use?
It can use details included in the webhook request. Ensure the sending device integration or backend provides the status you want reflected.
