Notis

Send an extracted invoice reference to Bolt

Pass a document reference to a connected Bolt workflow without manually copying it into a separate device tool.

Trigger

Webhook received

Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.

Action

Bolt IoT Serial Write

Sends serial data to a device.

Why this helps

Copying invoice identifiers into device commands adds a small but easy-to-miss manual handoff.

  • Reduce manual copying of a reference into a serial command.
  • Keep the extracted source value visible in the run report.
  • Use a message format that you explicitly provide.

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, specify the invoice reference to extract, the Bolt device, and the exact ASCII message format to send.
  • 4Choose the webhook trigger and where run reports should go.
  • 5Initialize UART on the device and test with one real invoice.

Questions about this workflow

Does this action initialize UART?

No. The Bolt serial write action sends ASCII data after UART has been initialized. Set that up separately before testing.

Can the automation choose a message format automatically?

Provide the exact format in your instruction. The automation should not guess required device protocol details.
