See which contact channels have people present

Get one recurring view of presence across your key channels, with supplied contact records checked when they need validation.

Trigger

Recurring schedule

Notis starts this workflow on a schedule, such as daily, weekly, or during business hours.

Action

Query Batch Presence

Retrieves presence states for members across multiple channels.

Why this helps

Checking several coordination channels one by one creates a repetitive monitoring task that is easy to postpone.

  • Query presence for multiple specified channels in one API request.
  • See whether members are present across key channels.
  • Optionally check contact records supplied with the run using Addressfinder.

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect Addressfinder and Ably once in the Notis portal.
  • 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation.
  • 3Tell Notis to query current presence across your specified channels and optionally validate any contact records you supply for review.
  • 4Select a recurring schedule and the destination for run reports.
  • 5Test with real channel names and one supplied contact record, then review the report.

Questions about this workflow

Can the action query several channels together?

Yes. Query Batch Presence retrieves member presence details for specified channels in parallel.

Where do channel names come from?

Specify the channels in your instruction or other workflow input. The batch presence action does not discover channel names.
