Create incident reports from IoT alerts
When a connected device needs attention, turn its incoming reading into a report you can share or file.
Trigger
Webhook received
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Action
Create PDF Asynchronously
Why this helps
Device alerts can arrive without enough context for someone to investigate or follow up.
- Preserve the reported reading and timestamp in a document.
- Include device or location details supplied in the webhook request.
- Generate the PDF asynchronously for background processing.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Adafruit IO and Craftmypdf once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and give it a clear name.
- 3Tell Notis to create an incident report from each webhook request, using only the device details and readings included in that request.
- 4Choose the webhook trigger and select where run reports should go.
- 5Send one real example request and review the generated PDF.
Questions about this workflow
Does Adafruit IO provide a trigger event for this workflow?
No. Start it with a Notis webhook. An external tool or custom backend must send the HTTP request with the reading and any device details to include.
Can the report include a threshold or cause that was not in the request?
Not by itself. Include the threshold or explanatory context in the request, or ask Notis to report only the values provided.
