Give members one concise daily update drawn from the device readings your team wants to share.
Trigger

Notis starts this workflow on a schedule, such as daily, weekly, or during business hours.
Action

Why this helps
Useful device readings often stay scattered across feeds, making it harder to share a readable status update with a directory community.
- Create a readable update from available feed readings on a schedule.
- Keep community-facing device status in the directory.
- Reduce the manual effort of assembling routine updates.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Adafruit IO and Brilliant Directories once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Notis Automations, or ask Notis from any channel to create it.
- 3Describe which available readings to summarize and ask Notis to create a Brilliant Directories data post using the configured post type and member account.
- 4Pick a recurring Notis schedule and choose where run reports should go.
- 5Run once with real readings and review the post before continuing on the schedule.
Questions about this workflow
Can Notis use every Adafruit IO feed automatically?
The workflow can only summarize readings Notis can access. Specify the feeds to use and confirm that access is available during setup.
What does the automation need to create a post?
The Brilliant Directories action requires post title, content, user ID, data ID, data type, and post status. Make the configured post type and member account available in your instruction or connected context.
Can I choose when the update runs?
Yes. Select a recurring Notis schedule when setting up the automation.
