Why this helps
A time-sensitive partner update can stall while you guess who is online to handle it.
- See current channel members before routing attention.
- Reduce unnecessary pings to unavailable teammates.
- Keep the next follow-up grounded in live presence data.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Adtraction and Ably once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, or tell Notis the result you want from any channel.
- 3Ask Notis to check current presence for the Ably channel related to the incoming Adtraction update and summarize who is present.
- 4Choose the webhook trigger and select where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real update that includes the channel name.
Questions about this workflow
Does presence show who is responsible for the update?
No. Presence reports channel members currently present. Assigning responsibility requires a rule or context you provide.
Is this a historical availability report?
No. This action checks current presence. Use a presence history action when you need prior presence events.
