- Retrieve Ably application usage statistics on a chosen cadence.
- Summarize the returned figures in a report channel.
- Make routine usage review easier to fit into a founder's workday.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Ably once in the Notis portal; connect Adafruit IO if you want the automation grouped with that device project.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and name it for the usage review.
- 3Tell Notis the reporting period and level of detail to summarize from the Ably statistics returned.
- 4Choose the notis_cron trigger and set the recurring schedule.
- 5Choose a report channel, then test with one real run and confirm the returned statistics cover the period you intended.
Questions about this workflow
Will this report show Adafruit IO device feed values?
No. The action retrieves Ably application usage statistics, not Adafruit IO feed values.
Can I choose a reporting period?
Specify the desired period in the instruction. The statistics available depend on the Ably action's supported parameters and returned data.
