Boot Device Setup When Projects Launch
New project created in Linear, and your Bolt device is already configured and ready. No setup delays.
Trigger
Project Created
Fires when a new Linear project is created. Covers projects in both public and private teams — polls with the connected user's token, so visibility matches what the connected user can see in Linear.
Action
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.
Why this helps
New projects require manual device config -- forgotten steps cause cascading issues. Projects launch before devices are ready.
- New projects come with ready devices -- no setup lag
- Consistent device configuration across projects
- Eliminates missed setup steps
- Reduces activation energy for starting new work
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Linear and Bolt iot to Notis (one-time setup).
- 2Ask Notis: 'When a new project is created in Linear, send device initialization commands to my Bolt device' or use Automations > New.
- 3Define the init sequence (e.g., 'reset UART, set pins 2-4 to output mode, send READY confirmation').
- 4Choose report channel for init status: Slack or email.
- 5Test by creating a new project in Linear and confirming device sends back the expected response (e.g., 'READY').
Questions about this workflow
What commands should I send on init?
Depends on your device setup -- UART reset, pin mode setup, self-test sequence, etc. Notis can script it or learn from a manual init you document.
How do I know if init succeeded?
Notis uses Serial Write & Read, so it waits for a response from the device (e.g., 'OK' or 'INITIALIZED') before marking the automation complete.
Can I skip init for some projects?
Yes -- add a filter like 'if project is labeled with requires-device-setup'. Otherwise every new project triggers init.
What if init fails (device doesn't respond)?
Notis will alert you via your chosen channel so you can troubleshoot manually. It won't silently fail.

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).
