Put device readings directly on a PDF
Add the key reading and device context to an existing document so reviewers can see the data alongside the PDF.
Trigger
Webhook received
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Action
Add Text to PDF
Add text annotations, such as page numbers, watermarks, headers, or footers, to a PDF.
Why this helps
Readings stored separately from a document can be missed when someone reviews or shares the file.
- Place supplied readings and identifiers on an existing PDF.
- Support page numbers, watermarks, headers, or footers as appropriate to the document.
- Keep the source reading visible in the artifact being reviewed.
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 name it for PDF annotation.
- 3Tell Notis to add the supplied readings and context as text to the existing PDF identified in the webhook request.
- 4Choose the webhook trigger and select where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real PDF and request, then review the placement and text.
Questions about this workflow
Does the webhook provide the PDF automatically?
The request needs to include or identify the existing PDF in a way the connected action supports. Test with a real document to confirm the input is accepted.
Can Notis choose exact annotation coordinates?
Ask for coordinates or placement details when you have them. The action supports text at specified positions, but this workflow does not assume a particular layout.
