Why this helps

An active channel inventory can be hard to remember to check when your attention is already split across operations.

  • List active Ably channels on a recurring schedule.
  • Make channel inventory part of a lightweight operations review.
  • Reduce manual dashboard checks.

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 inventory.
  • 3Tell Notis to list active Ably channels and summarize the returned inventory.
  • 4Choose the schedule trigger and set the recurrence in Notis.
  • 5Choose a report channel, then test with one run and review the channel list.

Questions about this workflow

Does this list every historical channel?

The action enumerates active channels in the Ably application. It is not described as a historical inventory.

Will it identify which channels are for Accredible?

The channel list itself does not establish that. Supply a known channel naming convention or other context if you want Notis to categorize results.
