Turn Ably presence checks into a recurring report
Set a review rhythm for presence information your Ably setup can access, and have Notis prepare a PDF report for your team.
Trigger
Recurring schedule
Notis starts this workflow on a schedule, such as daily, weekly, or during business hours.
Action
Create Async Document
Tool to create documents asynchronously from HTML content. Use when generating PDF, XLS, or XLSX documents and you need to poll for completion status or use a callback URL for notification.
Why this helps
Checking presence manually can interrupt focused work and make routine reviews easy to miss.
- Put routine presence reviews on a predictable schedule.
- Package available presence information into a PDF for review.
- Use asynchronous generation for reports that may take time to complete.
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 retrieve the relevant presence information available through Ably and prepare a concise PDF report.
- 4Pick the notis_cron schedule and choose the channel for run reports.
- 5Run one real example and check that the report includes the presence details you expect.
Questions about this workflow
Will the report include historical presence data?
Only if that information is accessible through your Ably setup or supplied to Notis. The workflow does not assume Ably provides a historical baseline.
Why use asynchronous document creation?
The async action is intended for document generation where completion may need to be checked or reported through a callback or status API.
