Why this helps
Availability checks are easy to forget, and temporary presence can be hard to reconstruct later.
- Keep periodic presence records in Bubble
- Reduce repeated manual channel checks
- Review availability patterns from saved snapshots
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 which Ably channel presence to check and what summary to save as a Bubble record.
- 4Pick the notis_cron trigger and choose where run reports go.
- 5Test with one real channel presence check.
Questions about this workflow
Does a snapshot show historical presence?
No. Notis can save the result of a check when it runs. Earlier history must come from previously saved records.
Can I choose how often it runs?
Choose the recurring schedule when selecting the notis_cron trigger.
