Review when people were present in operations channels
Use channel presence history to understand patterns in returned member activity across your Ably channels.
Trigger
Recurring schedule
Notis starts this workflow on a schedule, such as daily, weekly, or during business hours.
Action
Query Batch Presence History
Retrieves presence history for members across multiple channels.
Why this helps
When you need to understand past channel participation, current presence alone does not answer who was there earlier.
- Review presence history across multiple channels in one request.
- Ask Notis to summarize returned activity for a specified period.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Airtop and Ably once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, or tell Notis in plain language from any channel.
- 3In one instruction, ask Notis to retrieve presence history for the specified channels and time window, then summarize it.
- 4Pick a recurring schedule and choose where run reports should go.
- 5Test with a real channel and a time window with known presence events.
Questions about this workflow
Does this report browser activity on websites?
No. It reports Ably presence history for channel members, not browser visits or Airtop execution history.
What if the requested period has no returned events?
Notis can report that no matching presence history was returned. It cannot infer missing events.
