Prepare a dedicated Ably channel for abuse monitoring
Have Notis create or retrieve the Ably channel you use for Abuselpdb monitoring, so the channel is initialized for real-time messaging.

Action
Create Ably Channel
Why this helps
A monitoring workflow is harder to rely on when the shared channel has not been initialized or its name is unclear to the team.
- Initialize or retrieve a dedicated channel on a recurring schedule.
- Keep the channel name and monitoring purpose explicit.
- Prepare the channel for subsequent real-time messages.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Ably and Abuselpdb once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Notis and name it.
- 3Describe in one instruction which dedicated Ably channel to create or retrieve for your Abuselpdb monitoring workflow.
- 4Choose a recurring schedule and select where Notis should send run reports.
- 5Test with the channel name you intend to use.
Questions about this workflow
Does creating the channel send threat findings?
No. This action creates or retrieves the Ably channel and initializes it. It does not request or publish Abuselpdb findings.
Why use a schedule for channel initialization?
A recurring Notis schedule can run the create-or-retrieve action for the named channel.
Does Ably require a separate channel creation step before publishing?
Ably can create channels implicitly when first used. This workflow uses the listed create-channel action to initialize the chosen channel.
