Action

Why this helps

A launch can start without the expected collaborators online, leaving last-minute coordination unclear.

  • See current members present in a specified Ably channel.
  • Include the planned Agility CMS entry context in the run report.
  • Make launch readiness easier to review at a glance.

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect Agility CMS and Ably once in the Notis portal.
  • 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and name it.
  • 3Tell Notis to retrieve current presence for the specified Ably channel and include the planned Agility CMS entry title and link when provided.
  • 4Pick a recurring schedule timed before the planned release and choose where run reports should go.
  • 5Test with one real channel and a planned content entry.

Questions about this workflow
