Questions about this workflow
Does Ably provide a trigger event for this workflow?
No. Start it with a Notis webhook, which is an HTTP request to the automation.
Can the automation choose which Bugbug test to run?
Describe the specific test in your instruction. Bugbug's Run test action runs a test; it does not list tests for you to select dynamically.
