Move approved expenses from Ably into Brex
When an expense gets the green light in an Ably message, have Notis create the corresponding Brex expense and report the result where you work.
Trigger
Webhook received
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Action
Create Expense
Create a new expense.
Why this helps
Approved expense details can disappear in a busy channel, leaving someone to re-enter them in Brex later.
- Capture approved expense details without retyping them.
- Keep the Ably approval context close to the Brex action.
- Send a run report to a channel you already check.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Ably and Brex once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and give it a name.
- 3Tell Notis to create a Brex expense from an Ably webhook request that contains an approved expense, and to report missing details instead of guessing.
- 4Choose the webhook trigger and select a report channel.
- 5Test with one real approved expense example and review the run report.
Questions about this workflow
Does Ably start this workflow automatically?
Ably has no listed trigger event here. A Notis webhook starts the workflow when it receives an HTTP request, such as one your setup sends when an Ably message is ready.
What if the request is missing expense details?
Tell Notis in the instruction to report missing information instead of inventing it. Test with a real example to see what the Brex action accepts.
