Look up BoxHero inventory when an Adafruit IO alert arrives
When an Adafruit IO reading signals a stock concern, Notis can retrieve the matching BoxHero item so you can decide what needs attention.
Trigger
Webhook received
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Action
Get Item
Retrieve an item’s details, including its attributes, price and stock quantities.
Why this helps
A device alert can be easy to miss when you still need to open another system and search for the related item.
- See the item's BoxHero quantities alongside an incoming device alert.
- Reduce the time spent switching between monitoring and inventory tools.
- Keep the decision to adjust stock with a person, since this action only retrieves item details.
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 stock alert arrives, use its barcode or item ID to retrieve the matching BoxHero item details.
- 4Choose the webhook trigger and select where run reports should go.
- 5Send one real alert example to test the lookup.
