Check who is present after a document is parsed
Know whether the right Ably channel is active when an important document arrives.
Trigger
Webhook received
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Action
Get Channel Presence
Get the members currently connected and active on a channel.
Why this helps
A completed parse does not tell you whether anyone is currently connected to the channel where the next step should happen.
- See whether a channel has active members after an important parse.
- Use the presence result to decide whether a separate follow-up is needed.
- Avoid assuming that a real-time channel is currently being monitored.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Airparser and Ably once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in the portal or tell Notis from any channel.
- 3Ask Notis to check presence for the relevant Ably channel after a parsed document arrives.
- 4Choose a webhook trigger and select where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real parse and review the presence result in the report.
Questions about this workflow
Does this workflow send a message to channel members?
No. It checks current presence and reports the result. Publishing a message would require a separate automation using Ably's publish action.
Can the workflow determine whether the document is urgent?
Only if urgency is present in the data given to Notis or you provide a rule in the instruction.
