See who is connected when an incident needs attention
Check the live channel's current presence as part of your incident response routine.
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
During an incident, it can be unclear whether anyone is currently connected to the coordination channel.
- Check current presence in the named incident channel.
- Give responders a quick view of available member details.
- Avoid switching tools just to inspect channel presence.
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 read the specified incident record, retrieve current presence for its named Ably channel, and report the returned members.
- 4Pick the webhook trigger and choose where run reports should go.
- 5Test with a real incident record and confirm the channel name is available.
Questions about this workflow
Does this check historical presence?
No. This action retrieves the set of members currently present. Historical presence is a separate Ably action.
What if the AnyDB record has no channel name?
Notis needs a channel name in the record or supplied in the instruction to request presence for that channel.
