Why this helps
Teams may miss a mismatch between what they planned in AnyDB and activity visible in Ably.
- Review channel activity alongside the plans you identify.
- Spot when current details merit a closer look.
- Avoid checking each named channel manually.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect AnyDB and Ably once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, or tell Notis in plain language from any channel.
- 3In one instruction, ask Notis to review specified AnyDB plans, retrieve details for the named Ably channels, and report occupancy and relevant discrepancies.
- 4Pick a recurring schedule and choose where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real plan and channel, and confirm Notis only compares information the sources provide.
Questions about this workflow
What channel information can the action retrieve?
The channel details action returns channel metadata and activity details, including occupancy metrics when available.
Can this prove a planned event caused occupancy?
No. It can compare available plan and channel data, but a causal link requires evidence the sources provide.
