Bring Adafruit IO Device Readings into Databox
Send a webhook when new device readings are ready, and let Notis pass the records into Databox for analysis.
Trigger
Webhook received
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Action
Push Data to Dataset (V1)
Pushes data points to a Databox dataset.
Why this helps
Device readings can be useful for business decisions, but manually exporting them into a reporting tool adds busywork and delays visibility.
- Reduce manual exports from connected device projects.
- Keep device readings available in Databox dashboards.
- Use Notis to process webhook requests and report run outcomes.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Adafruit IO and Databox once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create a Notis automation and describe sending incoming device readings to an existing Databox dataset.
- 3Choose the webhook trigger and arrange for your backend to send an HTTP request when readings are ready.
- 4Choose where Notis should send run reports.
- 5Test with one real webhook request and a Databox dataset whose schema matches the records.

No. Start it with a Notis webhook, which receives an HTTP request from your backend or another configured sender.
What must be ready in Databox?
