Why this helps
Device alerts can get buried in dashboards and chat, leaving important readings difficult to review or share.
- Turn a device alert payload into a portable brief.
- Keep the reported device, reading, and timestamp together when those details are included in the webhook.
- Make an alert easier to share with a teammate or service provider.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Adafruit IO and Cloudlayer once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and give it a name.
- 3Tell Notis to turn each incoming Adafruit IO alert payload into a concise PDF brief, using only details present in the request.
- 4Choose the webhook trigger and select where run reports should go.
- 5Send one real alert request to test the result.
Questions about this workflow
Does Adafruit IO provide a trigger event for this workflow?
No Adafruit IO trigger event is listed here. The workflow starts when an HTTP request reaches its Notis webhook, such as a request sent by an external system with the alert details.
Can the PDF include a device name or reading that is missing from the request?
No. Notis can only use details in the webhook request or information you provide in the instruction. Include the device name, reading, and timestamp in the request if you want them in the brief.
