Notis

Review presence history across your Ably channels

Get a recurring view of historical presence for selected channels alongside a fresh resource check.

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

Reconstructing who was present across several channels takes time when the history is split across separate checks.

  • Query presence history for multiple channels in one request.
  • Include a fresh AgentQL resource check in the report.
  • Compare returned historical presence details across the channels you specify.

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect AgentQL and Ably once in the Notis portal.
  • 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, or tell Notis to create it from any channel.
  • 3In one instruction, ask Notis to inspect the specified resource with AgentQL and retrieve presence history for the listed Ably channels and time period.
  • 4Choose a recurring schedule and select where run reports should go.
  • 5Test with one real resource and multiple channels.

Questions about this workflow

Can this identify a presence trend?

Notis can summarize the returned history over the period you specify. The result depends on the history Ably returns for those channels.

Does the action retrieve message history?

No. It retrieves presence history. Use a separate message history action when you need channel messages.
