Turn Bolt IoT sensor readings into email alerts
Get the sensor alert in your inbox as soon as a Bolt IoT webhook reaches Notis.
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
Important sensor changes can get lost when you have to keep checking a dashboard.
- Bring important sensor changes to your inbox
- Check the reading against a threshold you choose
- Avoid repeatedly checking sensor dashboards
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 to email you when a Bolt IoT webhook reports a sensor reading above or below your specified threshold.
- 4Pick the webhook trigger and choose where run reports go.
- 5Test it with one real example, including the sensor and threshold.
Questions about this workflow
Where does the threshold come from?
Include the sensor name and threshold in your instruction. Notis can evaluate the webhook data it receives; it cannot infer a threshold you have not provided.
Does Bolt IoT provide a trigger event here?
No Bolt IoT trigger event is listed for this package. Start the automation with a Notis webhook and have Bolt IoT send the request to it.
