Create a PDF record from Adafruit IO alerts
Send an alert to Notis and get a readable PDF record without pausing to assemble one by hand.
Trigger
Webhook received
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Action
Create Document
Creates a PDF or Excel document from HTML content or a URL and returns it immediately.
Why this helps
Important device alerts can get buried in dashboards or messages, leaving no easy-to-share record of what happened.
- Preserve the alert details and timestamp provided in each request.
- Create a shareable PDF as soon as the webhook starts the automation.
- Keep a consistent record without manually formatting each alert.
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 a PDF from the alert details included in each request.
- 4Choose the webhook trigger and send the alert request to its endpoint.
- 5Choose where run reports go, then test with one real alert request.
Questions about this workflow
What starts this workflow?
A request to its Notis webhook starts it. Configure an external sender to include the Adafruit IO alert details in that request.
Can it read an Adafruit IO feed by itself?
This workflow uses the alert details included in the webhook request. The listed Adafruit IO events do not include a feed-reading trigger.
Which details can appear in the PDF?
Notis can use details present in the request, such as a feed name, reading, threshold, and timestamp. Fields not included in the request are unavailable.
