Turn an Ably review signal into a Coupa approval
Send a clear approval decision through Ably and let Notis apply it to the pending Coupa approval, so the decision does not get lost between chats and finance work.
Trigger
Webhook received
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Action
Approve Approval
Tool to approve a pending approval record. Use when you need to programmatically approve a pending approval by ID.
Why this helps
Approval decisions arrive in chat, then someone has to reopen Coupa and find the right pending record.
- Apply explicit approval decisions without switching from the conversation.
- Use the approval ID in the incoming request to target the intended record.
- Receive a run report in a channel you choose.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Ably and Coupa once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and give it a name.
- 3In one instruction, tell Notis to approve the pending Coupa approval whose ID arrives with an explicit approval decision through Ably.
- 4Pick the webhook trigger and choose where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real approval ID and an explicit approval decision.
Questions about this workflow
What information should the Ably webhook include?
Include the Coupa approval ID and an unambiguous instruction to approve it. Notis needs that ID to target the pending approval.
Will this approve every approval in Coupa?
No. The instruction should identify one pending approval by ID, and the action approves that record.
Can it decide whether an approval should be approved?
This workflow applies an explicit decision from the incoming request. It does not establish approval policy or infer authorization.
