Examples

Ways Notis can move work from Google Drive to Bolt iot

View example

Check New Device Guides Before Use

Check a new Drive guide for the Bolt device's online status so setup instructions can be acted on with current connectivity in mind.

View example

Read a Sensor After Procedure Changes

After a Drive procedure changes, check that the target Bolt device is online and read a specified analog pin for a fresh sensor value.

View example

Send a Device Check and Capture Its Reply

Use a new Drive review comment to send a specified ASCII request over Bolt UART and capture the device's immediate response.

View example

Signal a Device When a File Is Shared

When a Drive file or folder gains sharing permissions, set a specified Bolt digital pin high or low to signal a defined handoff.

View example

Reset a Device Signal When a File Is Removed

When a Drive file is moved to trash or permanently deleted, set a specified Bolt digital pin low to clear a signal associated with that file.

Supported Triggers and Actions

Notis builds workflows that link Google Drive to Bolt iot. A trigger fires from one place; an action lands in another.

Google Drive triggers

Bolt iot actions

Recurring trigger

Notis starts this workflow on a schedule, such as daily, weekly, or during business hours.

TriggerScheduled

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.

ActionInstant

Webhook trigger

Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.

TriggerInstant

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.

ActionInstant

Comment Added (Docs/Sheets/Slides)

Triggers when a new comment is added to Google Docs, Sheets, or Slides.

TriggerPolling

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.'

ActionInstant

File Created

Triggers when a new file is created in Google Drive.

TriggerPolling

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.

File Deleted or Trashed

Triggers when a file is moved to trash or permanently deleted in Drive.

TriggerPolling

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.

ActionInstant

File Shared (Permissions Added)

Triggers when new sharing permissions are granted to a file or folder. Uses Drive's `changes.list` endpoint with inline `permissions` in the `fields` mask so each change carries the file's current permission set provider-atomically. We diff that against `seen_permission_keys` to identify newly added grants. Drive page tokens are the primary cursor; if Drive rejects a stored token, the trigger raises `PollingTriggerError` without clearing state rather than silently re-baselining and dropping events. Limitation: truly ephemeral permissions (added and revoked between two polls without any other file modification in between) are not detected. Drive Activity API would catch those but requires an additional OAuth scope and a different payload contract.

TriggerPolling

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.

ActionInstant

File Updated

Triggers when a file's metadata or content changes in Google Drive.

TriggerPolling

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.

Google Drive Changes

Triggers when changes are detected in a Google Drive.

Trigger Types

Four ways to start an automation.

A trigger is the event that kicks a workflow off. Notis supports four kinds: an event in a connected app, an inbound webhook, a recurring schedule, and soon, your own database.

Integration triggers

Fire when something happens inside a connected app. New Notion page, Stripe charge, Linear issue: any of 1,000+ apps can start a workflow.

New Notion pageStripe chargeCalendar event

Webhook triggers

A unique URL per workflow. Anything that can send an HTTP POST can start an automation, including no-code tools that speak webhooks.

Recurring triggers

Cron-style schedules run a workflow on the clock. Daily standups, hourly syncs, business-hours-only digests: the workhorse of Notis.

Database triggers

Watch a row, query, or threshold in your own database and fire the moment the data changes. Row inserted, value crosses a limit, query starts matching.

Why AI automation

Classic automation breaks. AI adapts.

Same triggers and actions, smarter middle. AI handles the fuzziness that breaks traditional Zapier-style workflows the moment a field gets renamed.
