Activate a Bolt output after a task update

Let task progress start the physical step that follows.

Trigger

Task Updated

Triggers when an existing task is updated in a Google Tasks list. This trigger monitors a specific task list and fires when tasks are modified.

Action

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.

Why this helps

A completed or revised task can require a device action that is easy to postpone.

  • Start hardware actions promptly
  • Reduce follow up work
  • Keep task progress connected to execution

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect Google Tasks and Bolt iot in Notis once.
  • 2Create an automation that sets the specified digital pin high or low after a task update.
  • 3Pick Task Updated as the trigger.
  • 4Choose a report channel and test with one real task change.

Questions about this workflow

Can the prompt distinguish completed tasks?

Yes. Ask Notis to act only when the returned task status meets your rule.

Does this action verify the device first?

The digital write action sends the requested state. Add a separate online check workflow if you need preflight verification.
