Send one device alert to the Ably channels that need it
A single device signal can reach the right project, operations, and incident channels in one pass.
Trigger
Webhook received
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Action
Batch Publish Messages
Publish batches of messages to multiple channels in parallel.
Why this helps
Important device alerts can be missed when each team relies on a different channel or manually forwards updates.
- Publish a concise alert to multiple relevant channels in one workflow run.
- Reduce manual forwarding when a device reports an issue.
- Let Notis tailor the message to the event details supplied in the webhook.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Adafruit IO and Ably once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and name it for the alert routing outcome.
- 3Tell Notis to identify the alert details in each incoming webhook and batch publish a concise message to the relevant Ably channels.
- 4Choose the notis_webhook trigger and send a representative Adafruit IO alert to its webhook URL.
- 5Choose a report channel, then test with one real alert and confirm the messages reached the intended channels.
Questions about this workflow
Can this workflow decide which channels receive an alert?
Tell Notis the routing rules in plain language. The webhook must include enough information to apply those rules.
Does batch publishing send different messages to different channels?
The Ably action supports batch publishing messages to multiple channels. Specify the desired message and destinations in the instruction, and test the result with a real alert.
