See whether your browser update channels are active
A scheduled channel check can help you spot quiet or unexpectedly busy update channels sooner.
Trigger
Recurring schedule

Action
Get Channel Details
Retrieves a channel’s status, activity, and occupancy details.
Why this helps
A workflow can keep running while its destination channel is quiet, inactive, or unexpectedly busy, and manual checks are easy to forget.
- Review channel activity without opening a separate dashboard.
- Bring occupancy and status details into a short 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 retrieve details for the specified Ably channels and report their status and occupancy.
- 4Pick a recurring schedule and choose where run reports should go.
- 5Test against one real channel used by an Airtop workflow.
Questions about this workflow
Does channel occupancy prove that Airtop is working?
No. Channel details report Ably channel metadata and activity; they do not verify Airtop's browser workflow execution.
Can I check several channels?
You can ask Notis to inspect the channels you specify. The result depends on the channel details returned by Ably.
