- Use a consistent format from a Docugenerate template.
- Keep checklist contents grounded in the inventory and maintenance instructions you supply.
Setup

- 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 generate a maintenance checklist from the device inventory and maintenance rules you provide, using your Docugenerate template.
- 4Choose the notis_cron trigger and set the cadence for the checklist.
- 5Choose a report channel and test with your current inventory and template.
Questions about this workflow
Does the scheduled workflow fetch current Adafruit IO readings?
No. This workflow creates a checklist from the inventory and maintenance rules you provide. A schedule does not supply current feed readings.
What should I provide for a useful checklist?
Provide the device inventory and the maintenance steps or review criteria you want included. Notis should not assume readings or baselines that were not supplied.
Can I choose how often it runs?
Yes. Set the cadence when choosing the notis_cron trigger.
