Bring approval blockers into the open
When an ActiveMerge status signals a blocker, send the context to Ably so the next step is visible to the people and agents involved.
Trigger
Webhook received
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Action
Publish Message to Channel
Publishes a message to a channel.
Why this helps
Approval blockers are often discovered late because nobody sees the status change in time.
- Make reported approval blockers visible quickly.
- Summarize the reason and next step when the webhook provides them.
- Keep the team from manually checking every document workflow.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect the ActiveMerge webhook sender and Ably in Notis once.
- 2Create an automation and explain which reported approval states need escalation.
- 3Pick the Notis webhook trigger that receives ActiveMerge status requests.
- 4Choose a destination for Notis run reports.
- 5Test with a real approval status that should be escalated.
Questions about this workflow
Can Notis identify an overdue approval on its own?
Only if the webhook includes a due date or an explicit overdue status. Otherwise, the workflow can report the status it receives.
Does this update ActiveMerge?
No. This workflow publishes an Ably message based on the incoming event.
