Turn an IoT maintenance request into a document automation
When a connected system needs a new reporting workflow, tell Notis what the automation should cover and let it set up the Docsautomator automation.
Trigger
Webhook received
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Action
Create Automation
Creates a document automation.
Why this helps
Starting a new device reporting workflow can mean repeating setup details across tools and losing track of what the automation should produce.
- Create an automation from a device workflow request.
- Keep the intended data source and optional Google Doc template in the setup instruction.
- Reduce the setup work needed for a new maintenance reporting process.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Adafruit IO and Docsautomator once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Notis and name the maintenance report setup workflow.
- 3Tell Notis to create a Docsautomator automation using the data source and optional Google Doc template details you provide in the request.
- 4Choose the Notis webhook trigger and select where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real setup request that includes the needed automation details.
Questions about this workflow
Does this workflow generate the maintenance report?
No. The Docsautomator action creates an automation configuration. Document generation is not one of the available actions in this workflow package.
What details should the webhook request include?
Include the data source and, if needed, the Google Doc template information required for the automation. PDF templates must be uploaded through the Docsautomator app interface.
