Why this helps
Device actions can be easy to forget when they happen during a busy day or an urgent response.
- Creates a consistent record for each reported action.
- Keeps the supplied reason and result together.
- Makes follow-up easier when responsibility changes hands.
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.
- 3Tell Notis in one instruction to create a Drive runbook entry from each webhook request, using its device action, reported result, and supplied reason.
- 4Choose the webhook trigger and select where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real device action request and review the file.
Questions about this workflow
Will this workflow execute a device action?
No. The webhook reports an action that has occurred; this workflow creates a Google Drive record of the supplied details.
What if the request does not include an outcome?
Notis can record the fields that are present. Include the action result in the request if you need it documented.
