Convert Adafruit IO exports asynchronously
Send a device data export for conversion and let the long-running job finish without holding up the webhook.
Trigger
Webhook received
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Action
Async Convert
Starts an asynchronous file conversion.
Why this helps
Large exports can take too long for a webhook request to wait on, leaving device data processing unfinished.
- Avoid client timeouts on long conversions.
- Start conversion from a webhook containing a file or source URL.
- Keep the conversion request and run report in one Notis automation.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Adafruit IO and ConvertAPI once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and give it a name.
- 3Tell Notis to use the incoming file or URL for an asynchronous ConvertAPI conversion and report the job details.
- 4Choose the webhook trigger and where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real Adafruit IO export.

No. Start it with a Notis webhook and send the file data or a usable file URL in the request.
When is an asynchronous conversion useful?
Use it for large or long-running files that could outlast a normal client request.
