Change a Control D filter when an Ably alert arrives

Turn a filter change into a focused response to an alert, with the profile and filter called out in your instruction.

Trigger

Webhook received

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

Action

Modify Profile Filter

Tool to modify the enabled state of a specific filter on a profile. Use when you need to enable or disable a particular filter.

Why this helps

An alert can create another manual follow-up: find the right profile, locate the filter, then remember to change it.

  • React to an HTTP request carrying an Ably alert.
  • State the exact profile, filter, and enabled state in plain language.
  • Receive a report that records what Notis attempted.

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect Ably and Control D once in the Notis portal.
  • 2Create an automation in the portal or tell Notis from any channel to create one.
  • 3In one instruction, name the profile, filter, and state to apply for the alert.
  • 4Pick the webhook trigger and choose where run reports go.
  • 5Test with one real example and verify the filter identity before relying on it.

Questions about this workflow

Can this change a filter based on alert content?

Yes, if the request includes enough information to identify the intended profile and filter, and the instruction explains the desired state.

Will Notis select a filter automatically?

The automation needs a clear filter identity and desired state. Do not rely on a guess when multiple filters could match.
