Ways Notis can move work from Slack to Bolt iot
Check Bolt device before a Slack-requested command
When a channel message asks for a Bolt device action, check that the device is online before any follow-up command is considered.
Read a sensor after a Slack request
When a channel message asks for a reading, have Notis retrieve the analog value from the specified Bolt device pin.
Set a Bolt indicator from a Slack channel request
Use a channel message requesting a status indicator to set a specified Bolt digital output high or low.
Check device readiness from a Slack DM
When a direct message asks whether a Bolt device is reachable, check its online status and report the result.
Fetch a sensor value from a Slack DM
When a DM asks for a known sensor reading, read the analog pin on the specified Bolt device.
Use an approval reaction to set a Bolt output
When an agreed approval reaction is added to a Slack message, set a specified digital pin to the approved state.
Check device status when a message is flagged
When a teammate adds the agreed reaction to a Slack message, check whether the mentioned Bolt device is online.
Capture a sensor snapshot from a Slack reaction
Add the agreed reaction to a message to prompt an analog read from its specified Bolt device pin.
Check a Bolt device when a project channel opens
When a new Slack channel is created, check the specified Bolt device's online status as part of a project readiness routine.
Supported Triggers and Actions
Notis builds workflows that link Slack to Bolt iot. A trigger fires from one place; an action lands in another.
Slack 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 Channel Created Trigger
Triggered when a new channel is created in Slack.
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.'
Channel Message Received
Triggered when a message is posted in a Slack channel (public, private, or multi-party IM). Does NOT match direct messages.
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.
Direct Message Received
Triggered when a new direct message (DM) is sent to a user in Slack. Catches all DMs across all DM channels.
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.
Message Reaction Added
Triggered when a reaction is added to a message in Slack. Supports optional filtering by channel and emoji name.
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.
Message Reaction Removed
Triggered when a reaction is removed from a message in Slack. Supports optional filtering by channel and emoji name.
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.
Reaction Added Trigger
DEPRECATED: use `SLACK_MESSAGE_REACTION_ADDED` instead. Triggered when a reaction is added to a message in Slack.
Four ways to start an automation.
A trigger is the event that kicks a workflow off. Notis supports four kinds: an event in a connected app, an inbound webhook, a recurring schedule, and soon, your own database.
Integration triggers
Fire when something happens inside a connected app. New Notion page, Stripe charge, Linear issue: any of 1,000+ apps can start a workflow.
Webhook triggers
A unique URL per workflow. Anything that can send an HTTP POST can start an automation, including no-code tools that speak webhooks.
Recurring triggers
Cron-style schedules run a workflow on the clock. Daily standups, hourly syncs, business-hours-only digests: the workhorse of Notis.
Database triggers
Watch a row, query, or threshold in your own database and fire the moment the data changes. Row inserted, value crosses a limit, query starts matching.
Classic automation breaks. AI adapts.
Same triggers and actions, smarter middle. AI handles the fuzziness that breaks traditional Zapier-style workflows the moment a field gets renamed.
Describe it. Notis builds it.
Skip the visual builder. Tell Notis what you want, in plain English. It writes the workflow, you review and deploy.
You · in the Notis Builder
NEW“When a row gets added to the Q4 OKRs Notion database and the status is Blocked, send a Telegram message to the owner with a summary of what's blocking, and ping me if there's no reply within 24 hours.”
Notis built this automation:
Watch every run.

- Full run history with inputs, outputs and traces
- Replay any run with edited inputs
- Approval inbox, confirm via chat in one tap
- Audit logs for compliance teams

AI in the middle
Every step can include an LLM call: summarise, classify, extract, rewrite.
Full observability
Every run, every step, every input, all replay-able from Mission Control.
Human in the loop
Pause for approval. Notis pings you in chat with one-tap approve.
Self-healing
When an API changes shape, Notis adapts the parser. Less midnight fire-fighting.
