Find active Ably channels during a website review

See the active channel landscape while AgentQL gathers the website details you need.

Trigger

Webhook received

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

Action

List Channels

List active channels in the application, with optional occupancy details.

Why this helps

Choosing where a finding belongs is harder when the current set of active channels is unclear.

  • Retrieve active channel names from Ably during a website review.
  • Use website findings to help identify potentially relevant channels.
  • Reduce manual channel discovery before sharing operational findings.

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 supplied website with AgentQL, list active Ably channels, and report which channels appear relevant based on names and your stated criteria.
  • 4Choose the webhook trigger and select where run reports should go.
  • 5Test with one real website and your Ably application.

Questions about this workflow

Can the workflow know a channel's purpose from its name?

Only when the name or other supplied context makes the purpose clear. Provide channel descriptions or routing rules when needed.

Does listing channels include full channel details?

The listed action enumerates active channels. Do not assume occupancy details unless the selected action returns them.
