Create a Byteforms intake form from an Ably event

Send form requirements through Ably and let Notis create the Byteforms form, ready for responses.

Trigger

Webhook received

Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.

Action

Create form

Tool to create a new form. use when you need to define and store a form structure.

Why this helps

Form requests arrive in chat or event streams, then get lost while someone manually builds the form.

  • Turn a form request into a usable form without switching tools.
  • Keep form creation tied to the event that requested it.
  • Use a single instruction to interpret the submitted requirements.

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect Ably and Byteforms once in the Notis portal.
  • 2Create an automation by telling Notis to build a Byteforms form from form requirements received through Ably.
  • 3Pick the Notis webhook trigger and send the request to its endpoint from Ably.
  • 4Choose where run reports should go, then test with one real form request.

Questions about this workflow

What should the Ably event contain?

Include the purpose of the form and the questions or details it should collect. Notis can use the information provided in the event.

Does this run from an Ably trigger event?

No. Ably has no listed trigger event here. A request to the Notis webhook starts the automation.
