Why this helps
An alert can be separated from the project or procedure document people need to act on it.
- Keeps the alert near an existing operating document.
- Makes the supplied sensor context visible to file collaborators.
- Avoids creating a separate document for every alert.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Bolt IoT and Google Drive once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation from any channel or in Automations, New Automation.
- 3In one instruction, ask Notis to comment on the Drive file identified in the webhook request with the alert details and supplied context.
- 4Choose the webhook trigger and select where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real request that includes a valid Drive file ID.
