Acknowledge release milestones without another manual step
When your release system sends a milestone through Ably, let Notis mark the related Discord post for quick visibility.
Trigger
Webhook received
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Action
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.
Why this helps
Release updates can be easy to miss when the team has to remember to acknowledge them manually.
- Make a release milestone easier to spot
- Use a consistent reaction as a lightweight acknowledgment
- Keep the original announcement and its discussion in place
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 add the agreed reaction to the Discord message identified in each release webhook, and to skip events without a message reference.
- 4Pick the webhook trigger and choose where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real release webhook and message.
Questions about this workflow
Does this workflow create or find the Discord message?
No. The webhook must include the Discord channel and message references needed for the reaction action.
Can the reaction show whether a release passed or failed?
Yes, if the webhook includes that outcome and your instruction describes which reaction to use for each result.

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.
