Turn an Ably budget request into a Brex budget
Give a clear budget request a direct path from an Ably message to Brex, with Notis reporting the result and any missing details.
Trigger
Webhook received
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Action
Create Budget
Create a new budget for departments or projects.
Why this helps
Budget requests often arrive in conversation, then wait while someone recreates the details in a finance tool.
- Reduce manual re-entry for budget requests.
- Keep the original request as the source for the action.
- Catch incomplete requests through the run report.
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 name it for budget requests.
- 3Tell Notis to create a Brex budget from an Ably webhook request containing an explicit budget request, and to report missing values.
- 4Choose the webhook trigger and a report channel.
- 5Test with one real budget request and inspect the result.
Questions about this workflow
Will this workflow decide how much budget to approve?
No. It uses the request details provided to the webhook. Include the approved amount and other needed details in the message or request.
Can it handle a request without an approved amount?
Tell Notis to report the missing amount and avoid creating a budget until the request contains the necessary information.
