Make a PDF report from a device session
Bundle the readings you send into one session report, then let document generation finish asynchronously.
Trigger
Webhook received
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Action
Create Async Document
Creates a document asynchronously from HTML content.
Why this helps
Reviewing a long set of readings one by one makes it harder to spot the useful context and share a complete session record.
- Turn a batch of supplied readings into one report.
- Use asynchronous generation for documents that may take longer to create.
- Reduce manual copy and formatting after a device session.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Adafruit IO and DocRaptor once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and name it.
- 3Tell Notis to create an async PDF from the session readings and context included in each request.
- 4Choose the webhook trigger and send session data to its endpoint.
- 5Choose where run reports go, then test with one real session request.
Questions about this workflow
Does the workflow collect readings from Adafruit IO?
No Adafruit IO trigger events are listed here. The workflow uses the readings and context included in the request sent to the Notis webhook.
Why use async document creation?
The async action is intended for document jobs where you need completion status or a callback notification.
Can the report include charts?
Only include charts if the request provides suitable HTML or chart content. The workflow cannot assume chart data or rendering inputs that were not supplied.
