Notis

Review your list with Ably presence in view

Get a scheduled audience review that brings list records and live channel presence into one place.

Trigger

Recurring schedule

Notis starts this workflow on a schedule, such as daily, weekly, or during business hours.

Action

List Contacts

Retrieves a paginated set of contacts from a mailing list.

Why this helps

A founder can lose time switching between a mailing list and a real-time product just to understand who is active.

  • Bring contact records and channel presence into a scheduled review.
  • Reduce context switching when checking audience activity.
  • Surface gaps for follow-up without changing contact records.

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect Ably and EmailOctopus once in the Notis portal.
  • 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, or tell Notis to create it from any channel.
  • 3In one instruction, ask Notis to retrieve the specified EmailOctopus contacts and review them alongside presence from the named Ably channel; provide any matching criteria you want used.
  • 4Pick a recurring schedule and choose where run reports should go.
  • 5Run one real example to confirm access to the list and channel.

Questions about this workflow

Does this workflow modify EmailOctopus contacts?

No. The selected action lists contacts so Notis can prepare a review using the returned records and Ably presence data.

Can Notis determine which presence members match contacts?

Only if the returned data contains a reliable shared identifier. Supply matching criteria or expect the review to call out that the data cannot be matched.

What starts the workflow?

A recurring Notis schedule starts it. Ably does not provide a trigger event in this package.
