Get a Bolt response before your live demo
Send a known query and capture Bolt's reply while you still have time to review it before the demo.
Trigger
Event Starting Soon
Triggers when a calendar event is within a configured number of minutes from starting. Returns event details, time remaining, attendees, and join links when available.

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.
Why this helps
You need a timely device response before a live demo, but checking it means remembering a separate manual step.
- Send a known ASCII query as the meeting approaches.
- Capture the immediate response for review.
- Reduce last-minute app switching before a demo.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Google Calendar and Bolt IoT once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, with a name and prompt.
- 3In one instruction, name the Bolt device and specify the exact ASCII query and response to report.
- 4Choose Event Starting Soon as the trigger and select where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real demo event and a safe query on a device with UART initialized.
Questions about this workflow
Does this workflow configure UART?
No. Serial Write & Read sends ASCII data and captures a response immediately; UART must already be initialized with serialbegin.
Can this interpret any response as a confirmed sensor reading?
It can report the captured response. Give Notis the expected response format and interpretation rule if you want it to assess the reply.

Supported Triggers and Actions
Notis builds workflows that link Google Calendar to Bolt iot. A trigger fires from one place; an action lands in another.
Google Calendar 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.
Attendee Response Changed
Polling trigger that fires when any attendee's RSVP changes to accepted, declined, or tentative. Returns attendee info and current 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.'
Event Canceled or Deleted
Triggers when a Google Calendar event is cancelled or deleted. Returns minimal data: event_id, summary (if available), and cancellation timestamp.
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.
Event Starting Soon
Triggers when a calendar event is within a configured number of minutes from starting. Returns event details, time remaining, attendees, and join links when available.
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.
Calendar Event Changes
**SOON TO BE DEPRECATED** - Use Calendar Event Sync (polling trigger) instead. Real-time webhook trigger for calendar event changes. Returns event metadata only. For full event data, use Calendar Event Sync (polling trigger).
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.
Event Created
Polling trigger that fires when a new calendar event is created. Returns event ID, summary, start/end times, and organizer info.
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.
Calendar Event Sync
Polling trigger that returns full event data including details, attendees, and metadata. For real-time notifications with basic info, use Calendar Event Changes (webhook).
