Why this helps
It takes time to trace how a channel message changed when its reference and the discussion live in separate tools.
- Retrieve historical versions for specified Ably messages.
- Review original and subsequent message operations together.
- Make a referenced message's change history easier to inspect.
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 channel and message identifiers from AnyDB and retrieve the historical versions of those messages.
- 4Pick a recurring schedule and choose where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real message reference and review the returned version history.
