Schedule follow-up when a Bolt sensor needs attention
Get an alert out of the chat stream and onto the calendar, with a specific time to investigate.
Trigger
Webhook received
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Action
Create Event
Creates an event on a google calendar, needing rfc3339 utc start/end times (end after start) and write access to the calendar. by default, adds the organizer as an attendee unless exclude organizer is set to true.
Why this helps
Sensor alerts can disappear among messages, leaving follow-up work easy to forget.
- Turn a sensor alert into a visible follow-up commitment.
- Include the relevant device and reading in the event details when the webhook provides them.
- Avoid inventing a deadline when the alert does not provide timing.
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 create a calendar event to investigate each actionable sensor alert, using only timing supplied in the alert or your instruction.
- 4Pick the notis_webhook trigger and choose where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real Bolt alert and confirm the event details and timing.
Questions about this workflow
What starts this workflow?
An HTTP request to the Notis webhook starts the automation. Bolt IoT does not provide a listed trigger event here.
What if the alert has no time?
Tell Notis what follow-up timing to use, or have it ask for timing rather than inventing a deadline.
