Action

Why this helps
Understanding who was present across several channels takes repeated history checks and manual comparison.
- Retrieve presence history across multiple specified channels in one request.
- Bring historical member details into a single review.
- Reduce repeated channel-by-channel checks.
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 names from AnyDB, query Ably presence history for a stated time period, and summarize the results.
- 4Pick a recurring schedule and choose where run reports should go.
- 5Test with a real time range and a short channel list, and review the returned history.
Questions about this workflow
Is this the same as checking current presence?
No. This workflow retrieves presence history for multiple channels. Current presence is a different action.
Can it report a time period that Ably does not return?
No. The history depends on the time range supported by the action and the data Ably returns.
