Put new device readings in context
Check an incoming reading against the history you already keep in Google Sheets.
Trigger
Webhook received
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Action
Batch get spreadsheet
Retrieves data from specified cell ranges in a google spreadsheet; ensure the spreadsheet has at least one worksheet and any explicitly referenced sheet names in ranges exist.
Why this helps
A new value is hard to interpret when the relevant history is buried in a spreadsheet.
- Retrieve relevant historical readings for context
- Keep review focused on the feed or range you name
- Reduce manual searching through telemetry rows
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Adafruit IO and Google Sheets once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and name the reading review.
- 3Tell Notis to use each webhook reading to retrieve the relevant feed history from the specified spreadsheet range and summarize the comparison.
- 4Pick the webhook trigger and choose where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one reading and confirm the specified sheet and range exist.
Questions about this workflow
Does this update the spreadsheet?
No. This workflow retrieves data from the specified range so Notis can use it in its review.
What if the history sheet is missing?
Create the worksheet and ensure the referenced sheet name and range exist before running the automation.
