Create a Dub short link from an Ably campaign announcement
Publish an announcement in Ably and get its shareable Dub link without switching apps.
Trigger
Webhook received
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Action
Upsert a Link
Create a short link or update an existing one.
Why this helps
Campaign announcements can go out before anyone has created the short link, leaving teams to chase the URL across tools.
- Create or refresh a link from each forwarded announcement.
- Reuse a matching domain and key to update an existing link.
- Send the resulting URL to the chosen Notis report channel.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Ably and Dub once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, or tell Notis in plain language from any channel.
- 3Describe that each forwarded announcement should create or update a Dub link for its destination URL.
- 4Choose the Notis webhook trigger and have your Ably integration send the announcement to its HTTP endpoint.
- 5Choose a report channel and test with one real announcement.
Questions about this workflow
Does Ably have a built-in trigger event for this workflow?
No Ably trigger event is listed here. Notis starts from its webhook when an HTTP request containing the announcement arrives.
Can this update a link that already exists?
Yes. The Dub upsert action updates a link when the domain and key match; otherwise it creates a link.
