Capture Sensor Data When Issues Arrive
New issue created? Your Bolt device logs the current sensor reading. Build context without manual notes.
Trigger
Issue Created Trigger
Triggered when a new issue is created.
Action
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.
Why this helps
New task creation strips context -- you forget what environment the issue was filed in or what conditions motivated it.
- Automatically captures environmental snapshot with each issue
- Builds a context log without manual effort
- Helps understanding task origins and conditions
- Reduces need to manually document 'what was happening'
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Linear and Bolt iot to Notis (one-time in portal).
- 2Ask Notis: 'When a new Linear issue is created, read the analog value from my temperature sensor and log it somewhere' or create via Automations > New.
- 3Specify which sensor pin and device (e.g., 'A0 on my main Bolt device').
- 4Choose where results are logged: Slack thread, Linear comment, or email.
- 5Test by creating a test issue in Linear and confirming the sensor reading is captured.
Questions about this workflow
Which sensor should I use?
Any analog sensor connected to your Bolt device -- temperature, humidity, light, sound level, etc. Tell Notis which one in plain language.
Where does the reading go?
Notis can log it to Slack, email, a Linear issue, or another destination. You decide based on how you want to use the data.
Can I log multiple sensors at once?
Yes -- ask Notis to read multiple pins and combine the results into one log entry.
What if the sensor gives a strange reading?
Notis logs the raw value. If you see outliers, you can investigate the sensor calibration separately.

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).
