Send a Bolt serial command after a task update
Turn task progress into a direct device instruction.
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 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.
Why this helps
Manual relay from an updated task to equipment creates delay and missed steps.
- Deliver commands promptly
- Reduce manual transcription
- Tie device instructions to task changes
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Google Tasks and Bolt iot in Notis once.
- 2Create an automation that sends the specified ASCII command after a task update.
- 3Pick Task Updated as the trigger.
- 4Choose a report channel and test with one real update.
Questions about this workflow
Can the command depend on task status?
Yes. Tell Notis to send it only for the status or task details you specify.
Does the device need UART setup?
Yes. The Bolt device should be initialized for serial communication before sending data.

Supported Triggers and Actions
Notis builds workflows that link Google Tasks to Bolt iot. A trigger fires from one place; an action lands in another.
Google Tasks 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.
New Task Created
Triggers when a new task is created in a Google Tasks list. Uses timestamp filtering (updatedMin) to efficiently detect new tasks.
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.'
New Task List Created
Triggers when a new Google Tasks task list is created. This trigger monitors Google Tasks and fires when new task lists are detected.
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.
Task Details Changed
Triggers when a specific task's details change. This trigger monitors a single Google Task and fires when any of its details (title, notes, status, due date, completion, position) are modified.
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.
Task List Changed
Triggers when a task list changes (title or content updates). This trigger monitors a specific Google Tasks list and fires when changes are detected.
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.
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.
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.
