Review channel activity around credential updates

Get the Ably channel details relevant to an incoming credential update request without switching apps to look them up.

Trigger

Webhook received

Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.

Action

Get Channel Details

Retrieves a channel’s status, activity, and occupancy details.

Why this helps

Checking whether a real-time channel is active adds another manual step when coordinating credential work.

  • Retrieve channel status and available occupancy details on request.
  • Keep the lookup tied to the incoming credential context.
  • Reduce context switching during credential coordination.

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect Accredible certificates and Ably once in the Notis portal.
  • 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and name it for channel activity checks.
  • 3Tell Notis to retrieve details for the Ably channel named in each incoming request.
  • 4Choose the webhook trigger and arrange for your external system to send the channel name and credential context.
  • 5Choose a report channel, then test with one real update request.
