Spot presence and availability gaps
Bring channel presence context together with the Appdrag records your team uses to track availability.
Trigger
Webhook received
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Action
Visual SQL SELECT
Tool to execute a Visual SELECT Cloud Backend function. Use when you need to read rows from a database table using a visual SQL function configured in AppDrag.
Why this helps
Checking who is present and whether related records are up to date can mean bouncing between live channel context and a database.
- Review presence context alongside records returned from Appdrag
- Surface entries that may need a human follow-up
- Avoid repeated manual database lookups
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Ably and Appdrag once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, or describe it to Notis from any channel.
- 3In one instruction, ask Notis to use the presence details included in the request and query the relevant Appdrag Visual SQL SELECT function.
- 4Pick the notis_webhook trigger and choose where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real request and confirm the results distinguish supplied presence from queried Appdrag data.
Questions about this workflow
Can the workflow fetch Ably presence on its own?
This package uses notis_webhook because no Ably trigger event is available. Include the presence information in the HTTP request or provide another authorized way for Notis to obtain it.
Can this update availability records too?
This workflow uses Visual SQL SELECT, which reads records. Updating them would require an appropriate Appdrag update action and a separate instruction.
