Review location-based BoxHero activity from an Adafruit IO alert
When an alert points to a warehouse location, Notis can retrieve that location's BoxHero transaction history for a clearer review.
Trigger
Webhook received
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Action
BoxHero - List Location Transactions
Retrieve location-based transaction history for stock movements and adjustments.
Why this helps
A device reading tied to a location can be difficult to investigate when warehouse activity takes extra searching to find.
- Review location-based in, out, move, and adjustment activity from the alert workflow.
- Use the location identifier already supplied with the webhook request.
- Keep inventory changes under human control while collecting relevant history.
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 location alert arrives, retrieve BoxHero transaction history for the supplied location ID and summarize relevant activity.
- 4Choose the webhook trigger and select where run reports should go.
- 5Send one real location alert example to test the history lookup.
Questions about this workflow
Does the webhook need to include a BoxHero location ID?
Yes. The location transaction action is location-based, so provide the relevant location identifier in the request. If it is unknown, use the BoxHero location list action to find valid locations.
Can this workflow change a location's inventory?
No. It retrieves transaction history for review. The listed actions do not include a location stock adjustment action.
