Get Channel Details

This tool retrieves metadata and details for a specific channel in ably. it returns a channeldetails object containing information about the channel's status, occupancy, and other metadata. the endpoint provides visibility into channel activity, including metrics such as connections, presence, publishers, and subscribers, and requires appropriate permissions.

Why this helps

New projects can start without an easy way to tell whether their coordination channel is active.

  • Retrieve channel status and occupancy when a project is added.
  • Include channel context in the run report.
  • Make channel readiness easier to review.

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect Jira and Ably once in the Notis portal.
  • 2Create an automation in Automations, then New Automation, and name it.
  • 3Tell Notis which Ably channel to inspect when a Jira project is added and ask it to summarize the details.
  • 4Pick the Jira New Project trigger.
  • 5Choose a report channel and test with one real project example.

Questions about this workflow

Can the channel name be derived from the Jira project?

Describe your naming convention in the instruction and ensure the relevant project information is available to Notis.

Does retrieving channel details initialize the channel?

No. This action retrieves details. Use Create Ably Channel to initialize a channel.

ActionInstant

New Issue

Fires when a new issue is created in the Jira project you configure. Only issues created in that project produce an event.

TriggerInstant

Create Ably Channel

Creates a new channel or retrieves an existing channel in ably. this tool allows you to programmatically create and initialize channels for real-time messaging. since ably creates channels implicitly when first used, this action publishes an empty initialization message to create/activate the channel.

Delete Channel Subscription

This tool allows you to unsubscribe devices or clients from push notifications for specific channels. the operation is asynchronous, so immediate requests after deletion may briefly still return the subscription.

ActionInstant

Updated Issue

Fires when an existing issue is changed in the Jira project you configure — for example its status, assignee, or any other field on the issue is updated. Only issues in that project produce an event. It does not fire on comment activity: adding, editing, or deleting a comment on an issue will not produce an event from this trigger.
