Notis

Check who is available for the delivery handoff

Confirm the location, then see whether anyone is present in the Ably channel before the handoff moves forward.

Trigger

Webhook received

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

Action

Get Channel Presence

Get the members currently connected and active on a channel.

Why this helps

A delivery handoff can stall when nobody checks whether the right people or connected clients are available.

  • Pair a confirmed location check with a live channel availability check.
  • Surface an empty channel before a handoff is assumed to be covered.
  • Send a concise run report for follow-up.

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect Addresszen and Ably once in the Notis portal.
  • 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and name it.
  • 3Tell Notis to use the supplied Addresszen location validation result to check presence on the specified Ably channel and summarize whether members are present.
  • 4Pick the webhook trigger and choose where run reports should go.
  • 5Send one real location validation result with a channel name and review the presence summary.

Questions about this workflow

Does Addresszen provide Ably channel names?

Only if your request or connected process supplies them. Include the channel name in the webhook request for Notis to check it.

What does the presence check show?

The Ably action returns current members present for a channel. The workflow can summarize that result for the handoff.
