Bring Bolt serial output into tagged troubleshooting work
Add the relevant Asana tag to signal that device output needs review. Notis checks connectivity and retrieves serial data from the device you specify.
Trigger
Tag Added to Task
Triggers when a tag is added to a task. Note: Asana's event structure is inverted for tag events — the resource is the task and the parent is the tag. So parent.gid gives the tag GID.
Action
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.
Why this helps
Troubleshooting context gets fragmented when serial output must be fetched in a separate device session.
- Use a tag as a clear signal to fetch serial data.
- Check device connectivity before the read.
- Keep device output connected to troubleshooting work.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Asana and Bolt IoT once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, with a name and prompt.
- 3Tell Notis which tag indicates a serial read, and identify the Bolt device to query.
- 4Pick the Asana Tag Added to Task trigger and choose where run reports go.
- 5Test by adding the tag to one real task for a device with serial data available.
Questions about this workflow
Does the device need UART setup first?
Yes. The Serial Read action is for retrieving incoming serial data after UART has been initialized with serialbegin.
How do I identify the tag?
For Asana tag events, the event parent.gid contains the tag GID. Describe the intended tag in your automation prompt.

Supported Triggers and Actions
Notis builds workflows that link Asana to Bolt iot. A trigger fires from one place; an action lands in another.
Asana 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.
Attachment Added to Task
Triggers when an attachment is added to a task.
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.'
New Comment on Task
Triggers when a comment is added to a task in a project.
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.
New Task Created
Triggers when a new task is created in a project.
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.
Task Moved to Section
Triggers when a task is moved to a section in a project.
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.
Tag Added to Task
Triggers when a tag is added to a task. Note: Asana's event structure is inverted for tag events — the resource is the task and the parent is the tag. So parent.gid gives the tag GID.
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.
Task Updated
Triggers when a task is updated in a project.
