Pause a collection when requested
Send a clear stop request through Ably and pause the collection that needs attention.
Trigger
Webhook received
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Action
Stop Collection
Tool to stop (pause) a single collection’s processing by ID. Use when you need to halt a running or queued collection after confirming the target collection ID.
Why this helps
When a batch needs to stop, navigating to the account adds delay and creates room for mistakes.
- Pause one identified collection on request.
- Make a stop action available from the Ably workflow.
- Include the action outcome in a run report.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Ably and Countdown api once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and give it a name.
- 3Tell Notis to stop the collection identified in an incoming request only when the request explicitly asks to pause it.
- 4Pick the webhook trigger and choose where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real request and a collection ID you intend to pause.
Questions about this workflow
Does this stop every collection?

Can it resume the collection later?
