Turn a Discord reaction into a Bolt status check
Let a reaction on a device-related message request a connectivity check, so teammates do not need to restate the request.
Trigger
Message Reaction Added
Triggered when a reaction (emoji) is added to a message in a monitored Discord channel.
Action
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.'
Why this helps
Teams can lose track of device checks when follow-up depends on someone remembering to ask again.
- Use a reaction as a lightweight follow-up cue
- Check whether the referenced Bolt device is online
- Return the check result in a chosen report channel
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 the reaction-driven outcome and how Notis should identify the device from the message context.
- 4Pick Message Reaction Added, choose where run reports go, and test by reacting to a message that names a real device.
Questions about this workflow
Can the reaction itself identify the device?
The event is a reaction added to a message. The instruction should tell Notis to use the message context to identify the device, and the message needs to provide enough information.
Can I specify which reaction to use?
Describe the intended reaction in the instruction and test the behavior with a real message and reaction.
