Plan handoffs around observed channel activity
Use channel presence patterns to choose a more workable time for cross-team document handoffs.
Trigger
Recurring schedule
Notis starts this workflow on a schedule, such as daily, weekly, or during business hours.
Action
Query Batch Presence History
Retrieves presence history for members across multiple channels.
Why this helps
Cross-team handoffs slip when people coordinate across channels without a shared view of when participants are active.
- Review presence history across selected channels together.
- Suggest a window based on observed activity rather than assumptions.
- Keep the recommendation advisory and easy to adjust.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Affinda and Ably once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and name it.
- 3Tell Notis which channels and time period to review and to suggest a handoff window based on observed presence activity.
- 4Pick a recurring schedule and choose where run reports go.
- 5Test with real presence history from the selected channels.
Questions about this workflow
Will the suggested time guarantee everyone is available?
No. Presence history is a planning signal, not a commitment or calendar availability check.
What if there is too little history?
Notis should say the available data is insufficient rather than making up a pattern.
