Send equipment service notices from Adafruit IO
When a connected device needs attention, start a Docupost letter workflow with the service details and mailing materials you provide.
Trigger
Webhook received
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Action
Send Letter
Submits a letter for paid printing and postal delivery; the mailing cannot be undone.
Why this helps
Device maintenance details can get lost between dashboards, inboxes, and the task of preparing a physical notice.
- Start a service notice from an HTTP request sent by your device system or backend.
- Keep recipient and sender details alongside the approved letter PDF.
- Receive a run report so the mailing result is easy to find.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Adafruit IO and Docupost once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and give it a clear name.
- 3Tell Notis to use the webhook request's maintenance details and supplied recipient, sender, and approved PDF to send a service letter.
- 4Pick the webhook trigger and choose where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real request and confirm the recipient and document details before sending.
Questions about this workflow
Does Adafruit IO provide a native trigger for this workflow?
No. Start it with a Notis webhook. An HTTP request from your device system or custom backend starts the automation.
What does the request need for a letter?
Provide the recipient and sender details, an accessible PDF URL, and the maintenance information relevant to the notice. Confirm the mailing details and document before sending.
