Bring channel context into contact follow-up

See the recent channel conversation alongside a validated contact request before deciding what needs your attention.

Trigger

Webhook received

Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.

Action

Get Channel History

Retrieves the message history for a channel.

Why this helps

Founders often repeat questions or miss a prior commitment when contact details and conversation history live in separate places.

  • Validate contact details before preparing a follow-up summary.
  • Retrieve paginated message history from the specified channel.
  • Summarize relevant context without copying messages by hand.

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect Addressfinder and Ably once in the Notis portal.
  • 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and name the review.
  • 3Tell Notis to validate the submitted contact details, retrieve relevant history from the specified Ably channel, and summarize context for follow-up.
  • 4Pick the webhook trigger and choose where run reports go.
  • 5Test with one real request and review the summary against the channel history.

Questions about this workflow

Can the workflow retrieve every message ever sent?

The action returns paginated channel history subject to parameters such as limit, direction, start, and end. The instruction should request a relevant bounded history.

Does Addressfinder provide the follow-up context?

Addressfinder checks address, email, and phone data. The conversation context comes from Ably channel history.
