Run a small, repeatable command on schedule and bring the result back to your report channel.
Trigger
Recurring schedule

Action
Run Terminal Command
Run a command in the terminal and returns the stdout, stderr, and error code. use /home/user folder to write/read files.
Why this helps
A lightweight channel check can be forgotten when it depends on someone remembering to run a command.
- Run an established check command on schedule.
- Capture standard output, errors, and exit code.
- Make routine checks visible in a chosen report channel.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Ably and Codeinterpreter once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in the portal or tell Notis in plain language from any channel.
- 3Describe the existing command or script to run and what its output should indicate.
- 4Choose notis_cron as the trigger and select where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real command and confirm the report is understandable.
Questions about this workflow
Does this workflow subscribe to Ably channel events?
No. It runs from a recurring Notis schedule. Ably trigger events are not available in this package.
What should the command check?
Use a command or script that is already supported by the connected environment and specify the resource and expected result in your instruction.
What happens when the command fails?
The terminal action returns stdout, stderr, and an error code. Notis can include those results in the run report.
