- Avoid manually transferring event text into reports.

- 5Test with one real broadcast event and review the generated report.
Questions about this workflow
Can this use events from an Ably channel?
Yes, when the webhook request includes the event details you want the report to contain.
Will it include past broadcast history?
Only history included in the request or otherwise available to the automation can be used. The workflow does not assume Ably provides an unspecified history window.
Can I change the report layout?
Use a Carbone template designed for the report content you want.
