Check a Docnify Document When an IoT Event Arrives
When a device event needs a document check, send its confirmed Docnify ID through a webhook and let Notis fetch the current details.
Trigger
Webhook received
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Action
Get Document
Retrieves a document’s current state and details.
Why this helps
Finding the right document and checking its status can interrupt the response to a device event.
- Fetch current document metadata in response to a device event.
- Keep the Docnify document ID attached to the incoming request.
- Put the result in the selected run report destination for follow-up.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Adafruit IO and Docnify once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation from Automations, New Automation, or tell Notis in plain language from any channel.
- 3In one instruction, tell Notis to fetch the Docnify document identified by the webhook and summarize its current state and metadata in the run report.
- 4Pick the webhook trigger and choose where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real device event and a confirmed Docnify document ID.
Questions about this workflow
Does this look up a document by a device feed name?
No. The Get Document action requires a document ID. Include the confirmed Docnify ID in the webhook request.
Can this workflow change or send the document?
No. It fetches the document's current state and metadata for the report.
What starts the workflow?
An HTTP request to the Notis webhook starts it. Adafruit IO has no trigger event listed for this package.
