Trigger
Recurring schedule
Notis starts this workflow on a schedule, such as daily, weekly, or during business hours.
Action
Query Batch Presence History

Why this helps
Presence changes are difficult to review later when nobody has time to inspect each channel separately.
- Review presence history across multiple specified channels.
- Make returned activity easier to scan.
- Use a recurring check to reduce manual dashboard visits.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Abstract and Ably once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation by telling Notis to retrieve presence history for the specified channels and have Abstract summarize the returned events.
- 3Pick a recurring schedule and choose where run reports should go.
- 4Test with one real history response and verify that the summary reflects its time range.
