Listen to important Ably updates instead of stopping to read them
Send a message payload to Notis and get its text back as speech, so you can keep moving while you catch up.
Trigger
Webhook received
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Action
Text to speech
Converts text into speech and returns an audio file.
Why this helps
Reading every update can interrupt focused work and make it easy to miss a useful message.
- Listen to supplied message text without opening another app.
- Keep updates accessible while commuting or away from your desk.
- Use a connected ElevenLabs voice and model for synthesis.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Ably and ElevenLabs in Notis once.
- 2Create an automation in the portal or by telling Notis what you want.
- 3In one instruction, ask Notis to use text supplied by the incoming request to generate a spoken update with ElevenLabs.
- 4Choose the Notis webhook trigger and where run reports should go.
- 5Send one real example request and check the returned audio.
Questions about this workflow
Does this start from an Ably trigger event?
No. Ably has no trigger events in this workflow package. Notis starts when an external service sends an HTTP request to its webhook.
What text will be spoken?
The automation can use text included in the request. The sender must provide the message text; this workflow does not claim to fetch Ably channel history.
Can I choose a voice?
The Text to speech action requires a specified ElevenLabs voice and model. Include the voice and model you want in your instruction.
