Dual-Channel Acknowledgment for Issue Feedback
Someone comments on your issue and your device reads acknowledgment data immediately. Feedback flows both ways.
Trigger
Comment Received Trigger
Triggered when a comment is received.
Action
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.
Why this helps
Comments on your work arrive scattered -- Linear, email, notifications. No unified signal that you've been addressed. Easy to miss follow-ups.
- Dual signal when comments arrive (Linear notification + device read)
- More memorable than text alone
- Device serial read creates acknowledgment loop
- Feedback harder to miss or ignore
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Linear and Bolt iot to Notis (one-time setup).
- 2Ask Notis: 'When I get a comment on an issue, read the acknowledgment data from my Bolt device' or use Automations > New.
- 3Specify which device and serial port reads from (e.g., 'UART 0 on my main device').
- 4Choose report channel for read results: Slack, email, or Linear.
- 5Test by commenting on an issue you're assigned to and confirming the device serial read is triggered and logged.
Questions about this workflow
What acknowledgment data should the device send?
Anything your device outputs -- temperature, sensor state, timestamp, custom ACK message. Notis logs whatever it reads.
Why read serial instead of just alerting on comment?
The serial read creates a feedback loop -- comment arrives, device acknowledges, you see both. Stronger signal.
What if the device doesn't send data back?
Notis will timeout and log 'no data received' so you know the read failed. Check device serial configuration.
Can I use this for comments on any issue or just my assigned ones?
Start with 'comments on my assigned issues', then expand to 'all comments if I'm mentioned' if you want more coverage.

Supported Triggers and Actions
Notis builds workflows that link Linear to Bolt iot. A trigger fires from one place; an action lands in another.
Linear 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.
Comment Received Trigger
Triggered when a comment is received.
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.'
Issue Created Trigger
Triggered when a new issue is created.
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.
Issue Updated Trigger
Triggered when an issue is updated. For example labels are changed, issue status is changed, etc.
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.
Private Team Comment Created
Fires when a new comment is posted on an issue in a private Linear team (polled with the connected user's token).
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.
Private Team Issue Created
Fires when a new issue appears in a private Linear team (polled with the connected user's token).
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.
Private Team Issue Properties Updated
Fires when properties on an issue change in a private Linear team (polled with the connected user's token).
