  • Make it easier to review team activity at a glance.

Setup

  • 1Connect Ably and Carbone once in the Notis portal.
  • 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and give it a clear name.
  • 3Describe which Ably channel presence details to include and ask Notis to generate a Carbone summary report.
  • 4Pick a Notis cron schedule and choose where run reports should go.
  • 5Test with one real presence response and review the generated report.

Questions about this workflow

Can the report run on a schedule?

Yes. Choose a recurring Notis cron schedule when setting up the automation.

Does this create a new report each time?

The workflow asks Carbone to generate a report from the selected template and the data available for that run.
