Turn channel presence checks into action
Check a channel on a schedule and route the result into a Bubble workflow when it needs attention.
Trigger
Recurring schedule
Notis starts this workflow on a schedule, such as daily, weekly, or during business hours.
Action
Trigger Bubble Workflow via POST
Triggers a Bubble API workflow by name using a POST request. Use this tool to execute backend workflows in your Bubble application. The workflow must be configured in your Bubble app's API Workflows section with "Expose as public API workflow" enabled. Pass any required parameters as a JSON object in the parameters field.
Why this helps
Teams may need to act on channel participation, but checking and escalating it manually adds another recurring task.
- Automate a recurring operational check
- Start an existing Bubble process when attention is needed
- Keep the decision rule in a plain language instruction
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Ably and Bubble once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, then give it a name and choose a report channel.
- 3Tell Notis in one instruction what presence condition to check and which Bubble API workflow to trigger when it is met.
- 4Pick the notis_cron trigger and choose where run reports go.
- 5Test with one real presence result.
Questions about this workflow
Can Notis know my threshold automatically?
No. State the condition or threshold in your instruction.
Does this trigger on a live Ably presence event?
No. The listed trigger is a recurring Notis schedule, so Notis checks presence when the automation runs.
