Keep planned Bolt device maintenance easy to find

Review upcoming maintenance in one pass, using the calendar as your source of planned work.

Trigger

Recurring schedule

Notis starts this workflow on a schedule, such as daily, weekly, or during business hours.

Action

Find event

Finds events in a specified google calendar using text query, time ranges (event start/end, last modification), and event types; ensure `timemin` is not chronologically after `timemax` if both are provided.

Why this helps

Maintenance plans split across calendars or described inconsistently can be hard to spot before a device needs attention.

  • Surface planned maintenance events for a regular review.
  • Search by the device or maintenance terms you choose.
  • Keep review reports in a consistent channel.

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect Bolt IoT and Google Calendar once in the Notis portal.
  • 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and give it a clear name.
  • 3Tell Notis to search the chosen calendar for upcoming events matching your Bolt device maintenance terms and summarize the results.
  • 4Pick the notis_cron trigger and choose where run reports should go.
  • 5Test with one real calendar example and adjust the search instruction if needed.

Questions about this workflow

Does this workflow read Bolt sensor data?

No. The action searches Google Calendar events. Include the device or maintenance terms in your instruction and existing calendar events.

Can it infer maintenance dates from sensor history?

No. This workflow has no sensor history trigger or data source. Planned timing must be present in the calendar or supplied in your instruction.
