Why this helps
Recreating a similar reporting setup for each new device site adds repetitive work and makes setup details easy to miss.
- Start from an existing automation when a new site needs a similar setup.
- Reduce repetitive configuration work.
- Keep the original automation available while creating a copy.

- 1Connect Adafruit IO and Docsautomator once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Notis and name the new site setup workflow.
- 3Tell Notis which existing Docsautomator automation to duplicate and why the new site needs a copy.
- 4Choose the Notis webhook trigger and select where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real request for a new site and check the resulting copy in Docsautomator.
