Put recurring IoT data reviews on the Canvas calendar
Make room for a regular look at device readings with a Canvas calendar event created on your chosen schedule.
Trigger
Recurring schedule
Notis starts this workflow on a schedule, such as daily, weekly, or during business hours.
Action
Create Calendar Event
Creates a calendar event, optionally as a recurring series.
Why this helps
Without a predictable review point, connected-device readings can accumulate without anyone checking for trends.
- Add a recurring review prompt to the course calendar
- Give learners a clear time to inspect device readings
- Reduce the effort of remembering to schedule manual check-ins
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Adafruit IO and Canvas once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and name it.
- 3Tell Notis what the calendar event should remind learners to review, including the relevant Adafruit IO feed or dashboard details you provide.
- 4Choose the recurring schedule trigger and specify the Canvas course context in your instruction.
- 5Choose where run reports go, then test by creating one real calendar event.
Questions about this workflow
Does the schedule read Adafruit IO readings automatically?
No Adafruit IO trigger or reading-fetch event is listed for this package. The schedule can create a calendar prompt, and any feed details must be supplied in the instruction or request.
Can it create an ongoing series of reminders?
The Canvas calendar action supports finite recurring series. Specify the intended recurrence and end point in your instruction.
What does the event remind learners to do?
You decide the reminder text, such as reviewing a named device feed or comparing readings during a lab.
