Know the Bolt device is reachable when work starts
A new task can prompt Notis to check the related Bolt device and report its connectivity status, keeping device setup from becoming a separate manual check.
Trigger
New Task Created
Triggers when a new task is created in a project.
Action
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.'
Why this helps
Device-dependent work can stall when nobody knows whether the Bolt device is reachable.
- See whether the device is online as work begins.
- Reduce manual connectivity checks.
- Make device readiness visible alongside task 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 to check the relevant Bolt device online status when a task is created and report the result.
- 4Pick the Asana New Task Created trigger and choose where run reports go.
- 5Test with one real task that identifies the relevant Bolt device.
Questions about this workflow
Does this turn the device on if it is offline?
No. This workflow checks device online status and reports the result; it does not issue a device command.
How does Notis know which Bolt device to check?
Your instruction must make the relevant device identifiable from available task context or otherwise specify it. If the task does not provide that information, supply it in the 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.
