Get a device confirmation when Airtable adds a view
A new view can mark a useful workflow milestone. Send the event to Bolt over serial and capture its immediate reply.
Trigger
View Created
Triggers when a new view is created in an Airtable base.
Action
Bolt IoT Serial Write & Read
Tool to send serial data and read the response on a bolt device. use when you need to transmit ascii data over uart and capture its reply immediately.
Why this helps
New views can be created without the people who need to know noticing the update or confirming that their device received it.
- Sends a device message for each newly created view.
- Captures the immediate serial response for the run record.
- Keeps the event and confirmation together in Notis run reports.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Airtable and Bolt IoT once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation from Automations, New Automation, and name it.
- 3Tell Notis to send the new view event details to Bolt over serial and capture the device reply; pick View Created as the trigger.
- 4Choose a report channel, test with one real view creation, and review the returned response.
Questions about this workflow
What starts this workflow?
It runs when Airtable reports that a new view was created in a base.
What does the Bolt action return?
The serial write and read action sends serial data and reads the device response immediately.
Does this workflow create or configure Airtable views?
No. It responds to a view creation event by sending a serial message to the Bolt device.

Notis builds workflows that link Airtable to Bolt iot. A trigger fires from one place; an action lands in another.
Airtable triggers
Bolt iot actions
Recurring trigger
Notis starts this workflow on a schedule, such as daily, weekly, or during business hours.
Analog Read
Tool to read the analog value from a specified pin on a bolt device. use when you need sensor readings (0–1023) after confirming the device is online.
Webhook trigger
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Bolt IoT Digital Write
Tool to set a digital pin high or low on a specified bolt device. use when controlling actuators or leds via digital output.
Base Metadata Changed
Triggers when an existing Airtable base changes its name or permission level.
Check Bolt device online status
Tool to check whether a specified bolt device is online. use when you need to verify device connectivity before sending commands (e.g., control signals). example: 'check if device bolt1234567 is online.'
Base Schema Changed
Triggers when tables, fields, or views change in an Airtable base.
Bolt IoT Digital Write
Tool to set a digital pin high or low on a specified bolt device. use when controlling actuators or leds via digital output.
User Profile Changed
Triggers when the connected Airtable user's profile information changes.
Bolt IoT Serial Read
Tool to read incoming serial data from a bolt device. use when you've initialized uart with serialbegin and need to retrieve serial data.
View Created
Triggers when a new view is created in an Airtable base.
Bolt IoT Serial Write
Tool to send serial data to a bolt device. use when you need to transmit ascii data over uart after initializing uart with serialbegin.
View Deleted
Triggers when a previously known Airtable view is deleted.
Bolt IoT Serial Write & Read
