Send incoming webhook updates to Ably

When an HTTP request starts the automation, Notis can share its supplied update in the Ably channel you choose.

Trigger

Webhook received

Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.

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

Webhook updates can arrive without reaching the shared channel where your team coordinates.

  • Route an incoming request into a shared Ably channel.
  • Use a concise instruction to shape the update.
  • Reduce manual forwarding between systems.

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect Ably once in the Notis portal.
  • 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, or tell Notis to create it from any channel.
  • 3In one instruction, ask Notis to publish the relevant information from the incoming request to your chosen Ably channel.
  • 4Pick the Notis webhook trigger and choose where run reports go.
  • 5Start it with one real HTTP request and review the result.
