Read Bolt serial data from form submissions
Bring the latest device message into the workflow when a form is completed.
Trigger
New Form Response
Triggers when a respondent completes and submits the form.
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
Device messages are easy to miss when form intake and serial monitoring live in separate tools.
- Keep device messages with intake context
- Surface diagnostic data quickly
- Reduce serial console switching
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Typeform and Bolt iot in Notis once.
- 2Create a new automation with a clear diagnostic outcome.
- 3Tell Notis to read incoming serial data from the specified Bolt device after each response.
- 4Pick New Form Response as the trigger and choose a run report channel.
- 5Test with one real response after UART has been initialized.
Questions about this workflow
When will serial read work?
The Bolt device must have UART initialized with serialbegin and have incoming data available.
Can the response identify the device?
Yes, when the device identifier is included in the response or defined in your instruction.
Can Notis summarize the serial message?
Yes, ask it to summarize or flag the returned data in the automation prompt.

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 Form Response
Triggers when a respondent completes and submits the form.
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.'
