Send a document instruction to Bolt and capture its response
Keep a document-driven device request and its immediate serial reply together in one Notis run report.
Trigger
Webhook received
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Action
Bolt IoT Serial Write & Read
Sends serial data to a device and reads its reply.
Why this helps
When a device request is copied from a document, the device's reply can get separated from the original context.
- Keep the extracted instruction and immediate device response together.
- Reduce manual retyping between document review and device interaction.
- Make the response available for a human review in the run report.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Affinda and Bolt IoT once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, or describe it to Notis in plain language.
- 3In one instruction, identify the document text to extract, the required serial message, and the Bolt device.
- 4Choose the webhook trigger and where run reports should go.
- 5Initialize UART and test with one document and a safe request.
Questions about this workflow
Will this work with any text in a document?
Use it only when the extracted text forms a valid message for your device protocol. Specify that message format in your instruction.
Does it guarantee a successful device operation?
No. It sends serial data and captures the response. Review the reply and validate device behavior separately.
