Add people context to an Ably event review
Know who is connected to an event before deciding how to follow up.
Trigger
Webhook received
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Action
Get People
Retrieves either a specific person's details (using `resource name`) or lists 'other contacts' (if `other contacts` is true), with `person fields` specifying the data to return.
Why this helps
An event may need a relationship-aware response, but the person behind it is not always top of mind.
- Bring person details into event triage.
- Prepare a more informed follow-up decision.
- Avoid searching contact records by hand.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Ably and Gmail once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation by telling Notis the outcome you want.
- 3Describe how the event identifies a person and which details to retrieve.
- 4Pick a webhook trigger and choose where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real event and a person record you can access.
