Bring urgent Ably agent events into Discord
Keep important agent handoffs visible in the Discord channel where your team can respond.
Trigger
Webhook received
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Action
Post message to channel
Sends a message to a specified discord channel (text, embeds, stickers, components, attachments); requires `send messages` permission and one of `content`, `embeds`, `sticker ids`, or `attachments`.
Why this helps
Agent events can disappear into Ably while the people who need to act are focused elsewhere.
- Surface key events in a familiar team channel
- Include the event context and suggested next step
- Reduce manual checking across tools
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Ably and Discordbot once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, then New Automation.
- 3Tell Notis to summarize each incoming Ably webhook and post urgent events to Discord with the event details and a suggested next step.
- 4Pick the webhook trigger and choose where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real Ably webhook example.
Questions about this workflow
Does Ably provide the trigger for this automation?
No. A Notis webhook starts it when an HTTP request arrives. Your event producer needs to send the Ably event details to that webhook.
Can Notis decide which events are urgent?
You can describe the criteria in your instruction. Include the relevant context in the webhook payload so Notis can make that decision.

Update guild member information
Adds a user (who is not already a member) to a guild using their `access token` (which must have `guilds.join` scope), optionally setting nickname, roles, mute/deaf status, or flags.
Assign role to guild member
Assigns a role to a guild member, provided the bot has 'manage roles' permission in the guild and the role to be assigned is hierarchically lower than the bot's highest role.
Add reaction to message
Adds an emoji reaction from the authenticated user/bot to a specific message in a discord channel; does not return information about existing reactions.
Add or update thread member
Adds a user to a specific, unarchived thread; the user must have access to the thread's parent channel, and for private threads, the bot must already be a member.
Modify guild ban settings
Permanently bans a user from a discord guild, optionally deleting their recent messages (specify deletion period in seconds or days, not both).
Bulk ban users in guild with message deletion option
Bans up to 200 users from a discord guild, optionally deleting their recent messages; the bot must have 'ban members' permission in the guild, and this action is irreversible.
Bulk delete messages in channel
Atomically bulk deletes messages in a discord channel for moderation or maintenance; deletion may not be instantaneous and messages are unrecoverable.
