Create a readable report from an Ably broadcast
When a broadcast contains information people need to revisit, turn its available details into a clear report.
Trigger
Webhook received
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Action
Create Document
Tool to create a PDF or Excel document synchronously from HTML content or URL. Use when you need to generate a document file from HTML data. The document is returned immediately as a downloadable file. Either document_content or document_url must be provided, but not both.
Why this helps
Broadcast details can move quickly through a system, leaving people to search back through messages for the context later.
- Preserve important broadcast details in a portable document.
- Make event information easier to share and review later.
- Avoid reformatting event context manually.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Ably and DocRaptor once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, or tell Notis what you want from any channel.
- 3In one instruction, ask Notis to create a concise PDF report from the broadcast information supplied in the request.
- 4Select the notis_webhook trigger and the channel for run reports.
- 5Send one real broadcast example and verify the report reflects the supplied content.
Questions about this workflow
Does this publish the PDF back into Ably?
No. The selected action creates a document. Any delivery destination would require a separate supported action.
Can the report include context from other events?
Yes, if that context is accessible to Notis or included in the request. The instruction should identify which information belongs together.
