Turn an IoT project update into a postcard
For project milestones worth sharing offline, start a postcard mailing from a webhook with the address and artwork ready.
Trigger
Webhook received
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Action
Send Postcard
Submits a postcard for paid printing and postal delivery; the mailing cannot be undone.
Why this helps
Sharing a meaningful device or project milestone can slip when the update needs both a digital handoff and a physical mailing.
- Start a postcard workflow from an HTTP request tied to a project milestone.
- Keep the recipient, sender, and supplied postcard artwork together in the request.
- Use a run report to track the automation's result.
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 milestone context and supplied recipient, sender, front image, and back image to send a postcard.
- 4Pick the webhook trigger and choose where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real request and confirm the address and design URLs before sending.
Questions about this workflow
What starts this workflow?
A Notis webhook starts it when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request. Adafruit IO does not provide a native trigger event in this setup.
What postcard details must be supplied?
The request needs confirmed recipient and sender details plus accessible front and back image URLs. Review those details before sending.
