Capture important Ably messages in Airtable
Send an Ably message to Notis and keep the useful details ready for your next decision or follow-up.
Trigger
Webhook received
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Action
Create a record
Creates a new record in a specified airtable table; field values must conform to the table's column types.
Why this helps
Useful messages arrive in chat or agent channels, then disappear under newer conversations before anyone records or acts on them.
- Keep key messages searchable in Airtable
- Reduce manual copying between conversations and records
- Include a concise summary and any follow-up stated in the message
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Ably and Airtable once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and enter its name, prompt, report channel, and trigger.
- 3Describe the outcome in one instruction: create an Airtable record for each incoming Ably message, preserving its channel and timestamp when provided and summarizing its content.
- 4Pick the webhook trigger and send the relevant Ably message to the Notis webhook.
- 5Choose where run reports go, then test with one real message.
Questions about this workflow
Does Ably provide a trigger event for this workflow?
No Ably trigger event is listed here. The workflow starts when an HTTP request reaches the Notis webhook, such as a request forwarding a relevant Ably message.
What if a message has no timestamp or channel name?
Notis can only include details present in the received message or available through the connected Ably access. It should leave unavailable details unstated.
