Read Bolt serial data after a Coda page update
Pull the latest device message when project instructions change.
Trigger
Specific Coda Page Updated Trigger
Triggers when a specific page within a Coda document is updated.
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
Device responses can be missed when updates happen across separate tools.
- Collect device responses in context
- Reduce manual log checks
- Keep updates tied to operations
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Coda and Bolt iot once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation asking Notis to read incoming serial data from the named device.
- 3Pick the Specific Coda Page Updated trigger.
- 4Choose a report channel and test with one real update.
Questions about this workflow
When is Serial Read useful?
Use it after UART has been initialized with serialbegin on the device.
Does it send data too?

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.
Coda Document Deleted Trigger
Triggers when a Coda document is deleted.
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.'
New Coda Document Trigger
Triggers when a new Coda document is created.
