Check Bolt serial status when a Box file is restored
When a monitored file is restored from trash, have Notis retrieve the serial data from the Bolt device you specify.
Trigger
Trashed File State Changed
Triggers when a file's trash state changes in Box. This trigger monitors a specific Box file and fires when its trash state changes (e.g., moved to trash or restored from trash).
Action
Bolt IoT Serial Read
Tool to read incoming serial data from a bolt device. use when you've initialized uart with serialbegin and need to retrieve serial data.
Why this helps
Restoring an operational file can restart a process, but checking the related device status may be left as a separate follow-up.
- Tie a device status check to restoration of an operational file.
- Retrieve current serial data for the report.
- Reduce manual follow-up after restoring a file.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Box and Bolt IoT once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and give it a name and prompt.
- 3In one instruction, tell Notis to read serial data when the file is restored and identify the Bolt device.
- 4Pick the Box Trashed File State Changed trigger and choose where run reports go.
- 5Test with one real restore event and confirm the serial result.
Questions about this workflow
Does this trigger when a file is trashed too?
The trigger detects changes to a file's trash state, including moved to trash or restored. Tell Notis to act on restoration only if that is the intended case.
Does the serial read send a command first?
No. Serial Read retrieves incoming serial data. The device must already be configured to provide data.

Supported Triggers and Actions
Notis builds workflows that link Box to Bolt iot. A trigger fires from one place; an action lands in another.
Box triggers
Bolt iot actions
Recurring trigger
Notis starts this workflow on a schedule, such as daily, weekly, or during business hours.
Analog Read
Tool to read the analog value from a specified pin on a bolt device. use when you need sensor readings (0–1023) after confirming the device is online.
Webhook trigger
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Bolt IoT Digital Write
Tool to set a digital pin high or low on a specified bolt device. use when controlling actuators or leds via digital output.
Collaboration Details Changed
Triggers when a collaboration's details change (e.g., role, status, expiration). This trigger monitors a specific collaboration and detects when any meaningful field changes, such as role, status, expiration date, access type, or acknowledgment status.
Check Bolt device online status
Tool to check whether a specified bolt device is online. use when you need to verify device connectivity before sending commands (e.g., control signals). example: 'check if device bolt1234567 is online.'
Comment Changed
Triggers when a comment's content or details change in Box. This trigger monitors a specific Box comment and detects when any meaningful field changes, such as message text edits, tagged message changes, or modification timestamp updates.
Bolt IoT Digital Write
Tool to set a digital pin high or low on a specified bolt device. use when controlling actuators or leds via digital output.
New File Comment Added
Triggers when a new comment is added to a file in Box. This trigger monitors a specific Box file and fires when new comments are detected.
Bolt IoT Serial Read
Tool to read incoming serial data from a bolt device. use when you've initialized uart with serialbegin and need to retrieve serial data.
File Metadata Changed
Triggers when a file's metadata or properties change in Box. This trigger monitors a specific Box file and fires when changes are detected in key fields like name, description, size, modification time, parent folder, or status.
Bolt IoT Serial Write
Tool to send serial data to a bolt device. use when you need to transmit ascii data over uart after initializing uart with serialbegin.
File Shared Link Changed
Triggers when a file's shared link settings change in Box. This trigger monitors a specific Box file's shared link and fires when changes are detected in the shared link configuration, such as access level, permissions, password protection, expiration date, or vanity URL.
Bolt IoT Serial Write & Read
Tool to send serial data and read the response on a bolt device. use when you need to transmit ascii data over uart and capture its reply immediately.
New File Version Uploaded
Triggers when a new file version is uploaded to a file in Box. This trigger monitors a specific Box file and fires when new versions are detected.
