Create a collection for each maintenance research cycle
When a maintenance cycle begins, give its eBay research a dedicated place in Countdown API.
Trigger
Webhook received
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Action
Create a new collection
Creates a collection for batching and scheduling requests.
Why this helps
Research for different device maintenance cycles can get mixed together when every search goes into the same place.
- Give each maintenance research cycle its own collection.
- Use the incoming webhook context to describe the collection purpose.
- Keep recurring device research easier to locate.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Adafruit IO and Countdown API once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation by telling Notis the outcome in one instruction, or use Automations, New Automation in the portal.
- 3Describe how to use an incoming maintenance signal to create a clearly named research collection.
- 4Choose the webhook trigger and where run reports should go.
- 5Send one real maintenance signal to test the collection creation.
Questions about this workflow
Does this collection include eBay searches automatically?
No. This action creates a collection. Adding requests and starting collection processing are separate actions.
What starts the automation?
An HTTP request to the Notis webhook starts it. Adafruit IO does not expose a native trigger event in this setup.
What should the signal contain?
Include enough maintenance context for Notis to describe the collection. Any details not provided by the signal must be supplied in the instruction or elsewhere.
