Notis

Send a campaign related device command and see its reply

Start with a webhook signal, send a command over UART, and keep the device response with the 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

Sending a device command and checking its response separately creates another follow-up step and another place to lose context.

  • Keep a command and its immediate reply in one run.
  • Use a campaign signal to start the device interaction.
  • Reduce manual follow-up after sending a serial command.

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect AimTell and Bolt IoT once in the Notis portal.
  • 2Create an automation specifying the webhook condition, ASCII command, and reply handling.
  • 3Choose a Notis webhook as the trigger.
  • 4Choose where Notis should send run reports.
  • 5Test with one real signal and a Bolt device with UART initialized and ready.

Questions about this workflow

Does this read later serial data?

No. It sends the specified ASCII command and captures the immediate response returned by the serial action.

What starts the automation?

A request to the Notis webhook starts it. AimTell does not have a listed native trigger event here.
