Get an Adafruit IO alert in Discord when a reading crosses your threshold
Spot important device changes in the Discord channel where your team already works.

Why this helps
Device readings can change while you are focused elsewhere, leaving you to check dashboards repeatedly or notice an issue late.
- See threshold crossings without repeatedly checking Adafruit IO.
- Include the device, feed, reading, threshold, and timestamp when the webhook supplies them.
- Keep the alert in a shared Discord channel for quick team awareness.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Adafruit IO and Discordbot once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and give it a name.
- 3Tell Notis to post a concise Discord alert when an incoming Adafruit IO webhook reports a reading beyond the threshold you specify.
- 4Choose the webhook trigger and select where Notis should send run reports.
- 5Send one real example webhook request and review the Discord message.
Questions about this workflow
Does Adafruit IO provide a trigger event for this workflow?
No. Start it with a Notis webhook, and have your external tool or backend send the request when it detects the threshold crossing.
Where does the threshold come from?
Specify the threshold in your automation instruction or include it with the webhook request. Notis cannot infer a threshold you have not supplied.
What happens if the request omits device details?
Notis can only include details present in the request or otherwise available to it. Provide the feed, reading, and timestamp if you want them in the alert.
