Create an incident report from an IoT sensor alert
Send the sensor reading and alert context to Notis. Get a clear incident report generated from your chosen document template.
Trigger
Webhook received
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Action
Generate documents from template
Generates documents by merging data into a template.
Why this helps
When a device reading needs attention, reconstructing the event and documenting it later adds follow-up work and risks losing useful context.
- Turn incoming sensor alerts into a consistent document.
- Include the payload's device, timestamp, reading, and alert details when supplied.
- Keep the report format consistent through a Docugenerate template.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Adafruit IO and Docugenerate once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, or tell Notis what to do from any channel.
- 3In one instruction, ask Notis to turn each incoming sensor alert payload into an incident report using your selected Docugenerate template.
- 4Choose the notis_webhook trigger and send the payload to the webhook when your alert system detects an event.
- 5Choose a report channel and test with one real alert payload and template.
Questions about this workflow
Does Adafruit IO have a built-in trigger for this workflow?
No. Start it with a Notis webhook, which an external system can call with the alert payload.
What information can appear in the report?
Notis can use the information included in the webhook payload. Add device, time, reading, and alert details to that payload if you want them in the report.
Do I need a Docugenerate template?
Yes. Generate documents from template uses a template to produce the report.
