Notify a contact when a sensor reading breaches a limit
Send the relevant reading to the person you choose when it crosses your stated limit.
Trigger
Webhook received
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Action
Send Email
Sends an email via gmail api using the authenticated user's google profile display name, requiring `is html=true` if the body contains html and valid `s3key`, `mimetype`, `name` for any attachment.
Why this helps
A reading outside acceptable limits may need another person to respond quickly.
- Notify a specified recipient about a qualifying reading
- Include available sensor and value details
- Use limits you define for your own setup
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Bolt IoT and Gmail once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation.
- 3Tell Notis the limits to check, the recipient address, and what reading details to include in the email.
- 4Pick the webhook trigger and choose where run reports go.
- 5Test with one real example and verify the limit, recipient, and message.
Questions about this workflow
Can Notis choose the recipient automatically?
Only if the recipient is in the webhook data or you provide a clear recipient rule. Otherwise specify an email address.
What if the webhook has no baseline?
Provide the threshold directly or ensure the needed baseline is included in the data Notis receives.
