Why this helps
A new browser workflow can be ready to run while its real-time destination still needs to be initialized and checked.
- Initialize a channel as part of a workflow launch step.
- Keep the channel setup outcome in the Notis run report.
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 create or retrieve the specified Ably channel for the Airtop workflow and report the result.
- 4Choose a webhook trigger and select where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real channel name before using it in a live workflow.
Questions about this workflow
Does creating the channel require a separate Airtop trigger?
No. Airtop has no listed trigger events here. A Notis webhook starts this workflow.
Does the action create a permanently active channel?
The action creates or retrieves a channel and publishes an empty initialization message. Ably channels are created implicitly when first used.
