Notis

Bring current currency rates into your IoT workflow

A device or backend can start a Notis webhook after an Adafruit IO update. Notis retrieves current CurrencyScoop rates so your workflow can prepare a useful currency snapshot.

Trigger

Webhook received

Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.

Action

Get Latest Exchange Rates

Retrieves the latest available exchange rates.

Why this helps

Checking exchange rates separately from device updates adds another context switch and can leave currency-based reports using stale figures.

  • Retrieve current exchange rates when an external service sends a webhook to Notis.
  • Use the returned rates in a report or follow-up prepared by Notis.
  • Reduce manual rate lookups when reviewing connected-device activity.

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect Adafruit IO and CurrencyScoop once in the Notis portal.
  • 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and give it a clear name.
  • 3Tell Notis to retrieve the current CurrencyScoop rates for your chosen base currency after the webhook starts, and describe how to use the result.
  • 4Choose the webhook trigger and select where run reports should go.
  • 5Send one real example request from your connected-device service and review the run report.

Questions about this workflow

Does Adafruit IO provide a listed trigger event for this workflow?

No. This workflow uses a Notis webhook trigger. An external service you configure must send an HTTP request to start it.

Can the webhook itself provide the Adafruit IO reading?

The request can start the automation, but the exact request contents depend on the sender you set up. Describe any needed reading or context in your instruction and verify it with a real example.

What does CurrencyScoop return?

The selected action retrieves real-time exchange rates with a specified base currency. Any further report or interpretation depends on the data returned and your instruction.
