Keep an IoT reporting automation current
Send Notis a change request when a device reporting process changes, and have it update the Docsautomator automation settings you specify.
Trigger
Webhook received
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Action
Update Automation
Updates settings for an existing automation.
Why this helps
A reporting workflow can drift when a device project changes but its document automation settings are left behind.
- Apply specified changes to an existing automation.
- Update only the fields included in the request.
- Use a device project change as a clear prompt to review its reporting setup.
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 reporting settings update workflow.
- 3In one instruction, tell Notis which Docsautomator automation to update and which supported settings to change.
- 4Choose the Notis webhook trigger and select where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real change request and confirm the intended automation settings.
Questions about this workflow
Which settings can this action update?
The action supports automation properties such as title, template link, locale settings, and activation status. Only fields included in the request are updated.
Can a sensor reading alone identify the right automation to change?
Only if the request supplies enough context, such as the Docsautomator automation identifier and the intended setting changes.
