Get critical Bolt IoT sensor alerts on WhatsApp
When a sensor reading needs attention, put the alert where you can act on it without checking another dashboard.
Trigger
Webhook received
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Action
Send message
Send a text message to a whatsapp number. note: the message will reflect on the recipient's phone number only if they have texted first.
