Get a Scheduled Digest of Ably Messages

Catch up on recent channel messages with relevant web context in one report.

Trigger

Recurring schedule

Notis starts this workflow on a schedule, such as daily, weekly, or during business hours.

Action

Get Channel History

Retrieves the message history for a channel.

Why this helps

Important channel conversations can pile up while related external context remains in a separate browser workflow.

  • Summarize recent messages from a specified channel.
  • Add relevant context from an Agenty check when it is available.
  • Make catch-up a recurring, low-effort routine.

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect Agenty and Ably once in the Notis portal.
  • 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, or tell Notis to create it.
  • 3Ask Notis in one instruction to retrieve recent messages for the named Ably channel, run the Agenty check, and summarize the messages with relevant context.
  • 4Choose the recurring schedule and where run reports should go.
  • 5Test with one channel and a limited recent-message window.

Questions about this workflow

Can this summarize a channel without an Agenty check?

This workflow is designed to include both sources. If the Agenty run returns no relevant context, Notis can state that in the digest.

How far back does it look?

Specify a time window or message limit in your instruction; the workflow does not assume an unlimited history.
