Know when a Bolt IoT device action has a result
Put a supplied device action outcome into WhatsApp so you know what happened without another dashboard check.
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.
Why this helps
After initiating a device action, it is easy to forget to verify its result in a separate monitoring tool.
- Surface an action result in a familiar channel
- Include the device and outcome when provided
- Reduce manual status checking
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Bolt IoT and WhatsApp once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation and describe the confirmation to send when an action result is supplied.
- 3Pick the Notis webhook trigger and choose where run reports should go.
- 4Test with a real device action result sent to the webhook.
Questions about this workflow
Does this workflow initiate the device action?
No. It reports an action result supplied to the webhook. Bolt IoT supports device actions, but this WhatsApp workflow uses a notification action.
What if the webhook has no result?
Notis should not claim success. Include a result in the request before sending a confirmation.
Can WhatsApp send the message to a new contact?
The Send message action delivers only if the recipient has texted the WhatsApp business number first.
