Review BoxHero transaction context after a device alert
Pair an incoming Adafruit IO alert with recent BoxHero inventory activity to see whether transactions may help explain a stock discrepancy.
Trigger
Webhook received
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Action
BoxHero - List Basic Transactions
List basic inventory transactions, including items moved in, out or between locations.
Why this helps
Investigating a device reading and inventory movement separately can leave the useful context scattered across tools.
- Bring a high-level transaction view into the alert investigation.
- Reduce manual searching when a reading may relate to recent in, out, or move activity.
- Keep an operator in control of any follow-up inventory decision.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Adafruit IO and BoxHero once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in the portal or tell Notis to create one from your preferred channel.
- 3Describe the outcome: when an Adafruit IO alert arrives, retrieve BoxHero's basic inventory transactions and summarize relevant context.
- 4Choose the webhook trigger and select where run reports should go.
- 5Send one real alert example to test the transaction summary.
Questions about this workflow
Can the workflow filter transactions to the exact device or item?
The listed action provides a high-level transaction list. If the alert should be matched to a particular item or time range, include the identifying details in the webhook request and have Notis report when the returned data does not establish a match.
Does this action include every kind of inventory transaction?
It is described as a basic overview of in, out, and move transactions. For location-based history including adjust operations, use the location transactions action instead.
