Keep expected effort changes in view

When a task estimate changes or clears, share the update in Ably so planning stays grounded in the latest information.

Trigger

Task Time Estimate Updated

Triggers when a task's time estimate is set, changed, or cleared. `changes[]` carries `TimeEstimateChange` entries only; `before` and `after` are millisecond strings or `null`.

Action

Publish Message to Channel

This tool will allow users to publish a message to a specified ably channel using a post request. it covers the essentials like channel name, message data, optional event name/type, and additional metadata for push notifications. it is an independent and fundamental operation within ably's real-time messaging platform.

Why this helps

Changed estimates can leave plans and expectations out of date across the team.

  • Share effort changes as they happen.
  • Make cleared estimates visible.
  • Keep collaborators aligned on expected work.
