Share device location context from Adafruit IO in Telegram
Put the location and status your team supplied into a clear Telegram update for coordination.
Trigger
Webhook received
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Action
Send Message
Send a text message to a telegram chat using the bot api.
Why this helps
Coordinating around a connected device is slower when its location and status are separated from the conversation.
- Keep location and supplied status details in one chat update.
- Help collaborators coordinate around a known device location.
- Avoid guessing coordinates that were not included.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Adafruit IO and Telegram to Notis once in the portal.
- 2Create a new automation in Notis and name it for location updates.
- 3In one instruction, tell Notis to format the supplied location and device status for Telegram.
- 4Choose the webhook trigger and select where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real request containing a device identifier, location, and status.
Questions about this workflow
Does this automation find device coordinates automatically?
Only use coordinates provided in the request or available connected context. The workflow should state when location data is missing.
Why send a message instead of a map location?
This workflow shares location context as text. Use the Telegram location action only when the request includes suitable coordinates and a map pin is desired.
