  • Share returned image information in Ably.
  • Avoid a manual inventory lookup before server requests.

  • 2Create an automation for image inventory.
  • 3Tell Notis to list images and summarize returned details, applying supported type, visibility, or tag filters if needed.
  • 4Choose a recurring schedule and report channel.
  • 5Test with one real run and review the summary.
