Convert an operations amount using a historical exchange rate
When a device workflow needs a past-period figure, start Notis with a webhook and request a CurrencyScoop conversion for a specific date. The workflow can prepare the converted amount for review.
Trigger
Webhook received
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Action
Convert Currency with Historical Support
Converts an amount between currencies using current or historical exchange rates.
Why this helps
Recreating past currency figures with today's rate can distort historical operating reports and comparisons.
- Convert a specified amount using a real-time or historical rate.
- Use an explicit date for a past-period conversion.
- Keep the conversion step close to a webhook-started connected-device workflow.
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 which amount, currencies, and historical date to use for the conversion, and how to present the result.
- 4Choose the webhook trigger and select where run reports should go.
- 5Send one real example request and check the converted result and date in the run report.
Questions about this workflow
Where does the amount and date come from?
Specify them in your instruction or include them in the webhook request if your sender provides them. Confirm the actual request contents with a real example.
Does this use today's rate or a past rate?
The action supports real-time or historical exchange rates. State the date in your instruction when you need a historical conversion.
Does Adafruit IO itself trigger this automation?
No Adafruit IO trigger event is listed. A Notis webhook starts the workflow when an external service sends it an HTTP request.
