Catch template workflow problems sooner
Turn a reported template issue into a clear Ably alert, so someone can decide what to do without hunting through workflow history.
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
Template workflow problems can interrupt document work and remain invisible until someone checks the source system.
- Bring reported exceptions into the team's live coordination channel.
- Highlight the affected template when the event identifies it.
- Make the requested follow-up clear without adding unsupported diagnosis.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect the ActiveMerge webhook sender and Ably in Notis once.
- 2Create an automation and describe how reported template issues should be announced.
- 3Pick the Notis webhook trigger receiving exception requests from your ActiveMerge setup.
- 4Choose where run reports should go.
- 5Test with a real exception event and inspect the resulting message.
Questions about this workflow
Can the workflow diagnose why a template failed?
It can summarize a supplied error description, but it cannot diagnose details absent from the webhook.
What if ActiveMerge does not send exception events?
An external integration or backend must send an HTTP request to the Notis webhook when it detects the issue.
