Record device-related costs in Clientary
When a device reports usage that your system has priced, send the event to Notis and capture the expense in Clientary.
Trigger
Webhook received
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Action
Create Expense
Creates a new expense record.
Why this helps
Usage costs can be hard to reconcile when the measurement and the expense record live in separate systems.
- Create an expense when the incoming event includes a valid amount.
- Retain supplied usage, device, and date context in the expense details.
- Reduce manual transfer of measured operating costs into Clientary.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Adafruit IO and Clientary once in Notis, and have your integration send a priced usage event with an amount to a Notis webhook.
- 2Create an automation in Notis, name it, and choose where run reports should go.
- 3Tell Notis to create a Clientary expense using the amount and context in each qualifying request; specify any client or project rule in your instruction if you have one.
- 4Choose the webhook trigger and provide its endpoint to the event sender.
- 5Test with one real event and confirm the amount and any assignment in Clientary.
Questions about this workflow
Can Notis calculate the expense from a raw sensor reading?
Only if you provide a clear pricing rule or the sender supplies a calculated amount. The Clientary action requires an amount, and no pricing data source is listed here.
Can an expense be assigned to a client or project?
Yes, when the request supplies the relevant association or your instruction defines a reliable rule. Otherwise, the expense can be recorded without that association.
