Render a document from an IoT snapshot in one step
When the request already carries a template and feed data, turn them into a document without uploading a template first.
Trigger
Webhook received
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Action
Render Template Direct
Generates a document from a template and its data in one request.
Why this helps
Preparing a one-off device report can take longer than interpreting the readings when the template is not already stored in Carbone.
- Render from a template and data supplied in one request.
- Skip separate template upload for one-off document generation.
- Keep the output tied to a specific feed snapshot.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Adafruit IO and Carbone once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and give it a clear name.
- 3Tell Notis to render the incoming feed data with the base64 template provided in the request.
- 4Choose the webhook trigger and where run reports should go.
- 5Send a real request with a sample snapshot and template to test the output.
Questions about this workflow
Do I need a Carbone template ID for this workflow?
No. The direct render action takes a base64-encoded template and data in one call.
Can the automation create a template file for me?
No. The request must include the template content and the feed data needed for rendering.
