Bring Bolt serial data into a device investigation thread
Keep device investigation context in one place by starting a serial data check from a new team thread.
Trigger
New Thread Created
Triggered when a new thread is created in a Discord channel within a monitored server.
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
Troubleshooting discussions often scatter device details across separate chats and consoles.
- Start a serial data retrieval from a new investigation thread
- Keep the thread as the team's discussion context
- Return the result through a Notis run report
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Discord and Bolt IoT once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation by telling Notis in plain language or using Automations, New Automation in the portal.
- 3Describe when a new thread should lead to retrieving serial data and how the Bolt device should be identified.
- 4Pick New Thread Created, choose where run reports go, and test with a real thread and a device prepared for serial reads.
Questions about this workflow
Does this initialize UART for the device?
No. The serial read action retrieves incoming serial data when UART has already been initialized with serialbegin.
What if the thread does not name a device?
The instruction should have Notis skip the retrieval when the thread context does not provide an identifiable device.
