Catch up on the Ably conversation behind a campaign
Get the recent channel context in a short recap when a campaign request needs a decision or follow-up.
Trigger
Webhook received
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Action
Get Channel History
Retrieves the message history for a channel.
Why this helps
Campaign decisions get delayed when someone has to scroll through a busy channel to find what was already discussed.
- Reduce time spent scrolling through channel history
- Summarize relevant messages for a review
- Keep decisions connected to the campaign request
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect AimTell and Ably once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and name it.
- 3Tell Notis to retrieve a limited recent history from the Ably channel identified in the request and summarize messages relevant to the review.
- 4Pick the Notis webhook trigger and choose where run reports go.
- 5Test with one real request and confirm the recap reflects the available history.
Questions about this workflow
Can this retrieve messages without a channel reference?
No. The request or instruction needs to identify the Ably channel.
Will the history include messages outside Ably's available retention or query limits?
The action returns history subject to the channel's available history and request parameters.
