Turn an Ably incident signal into a Control D profile update
When an incident signal arrives, give Notis the response you want and let it update the relevant Control D profile.
Trigger
Webhook received
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Action
Update Profile by ID
Tool to modify an existing profile by ID. Use when you need to update profile fields after confirming the current profile. Example: Update profile '123abc' with new name and settings.
Why this helps
During an incident, switching between an event stream and DNS policy settings can slow down a response.
- Start a profile change from an incoming HTTP request carrying an Ably incident signal.
- Keep the response instruction and the Control D change in one automation.
- Send a run report to a channel you already check.
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.
- 3Describe the profile change Notis should make when the incident signal arrives.
- 4Pick the webhook trigger and choose where run reports go.
- 5Test with one real example, confirming the target profile and requested change.
Questions about this workflow
Does Ably provide a native trigger for this automation?
No. Ably has no trigger event in this setup. An HTTP request starts the automation, and the request can carry the incident details.
Can Notis infer which profile to update?
Include the intended profile or enough identifying context in the request or instruction. Notis should not guess a profile.
