Notis

Add a dated exchange rate snapshot to operations reviews

A scheduled Notis automation can retrieve CurrencyScoop rates for a specific past date and base currency, giving your connected-device review a dated reference point.

Trigger

Recurring schedule

Notis starts this workflow on a schedule, such as daily, weekly, or during business hours.

Action

Get Historical Exchange Rates

Retrieves exchange rates for a past date.

Why this helps

A historical review is harder when the team has to reconstruct which exchange rate applied on a particular day.

  • Retrieve historical rates for a specified past date and base currency.
  • Prepare a dated reference for recurring operational reviews.
  • Avoid substituting today's rates for a historical snapshot.

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 the historical date and base currency to look up, and how to present the returned snapshot.
  • 4Choose a recurring schedule and select where run reports should go.
  • 5Run one real example and confirm the date and base currency in the result.

Questions about this workflow

Can this retrieve a range of historical rates?

This workflow uses the historical date action for a specific date. Use the timeseries action when you need a period with start and end dates.

Why schedule a lookup for a past date?

A recurring schedule can prepare a reference snapshot for reviews. Specify the date you need in the automation instruction.

Does the workflow read Adafruit IO feeds automatically?

No. No Adafruit IO trigger events are listed. The schedule starts the workflow, and the CurrencyScoop action retrieves historical rates.
