Ways Notis can move work from Mailchimp to Ably
Publish a Mailchimp campaign announcement to Ably
When a Mailchimp campaign is sent or records an event, publish a concise announcement to an Ably channel for connected products or teams.
Review Ably usage after a Mailchimp campaign event
After a Mailchimp campaign event, retrieve Ably application statistics so you can compare real time activity with the campaign window.
Broadcast subscriber profile updates to Ably
When a Mailchimp subscriber profile changes, publish a controlled update event to an Ably channel for downstream real time systems.
Inspect an Ably channel after a profile update
When a subscriber profile changes in Mailchimp, retrieve Ably channel details to help verify the relevant real time channel is active.
Create an Ably channel for every new subscriber
When someone subscribes in Mailchimp, initialize or retrieve the Ably channel used for their onboarding or product updates.
Publish a welcome event for new subscribers
When a subscriber joins your Mailchimp audience, publish a welcome event to the appropriate Ably channel for immediate product or community follow up.
Check presence for channels serving new subscribers
After a Mailchimp subscription, query presence across the relevant Ably channels to see which live experiences are currently occupied.
Remove push subscriptions after an unsubscribe
When a subscriber opts out in Mailchimp, request deletion of the corresponding Ably push channel subscription.
Publish an access revoked event to Ably
When a Mailchimp subscriber unsubscribes, publish an access revoked event so connected products can stop audience based experiences.
Supported Triggers and Actions
Notis builds workflows that link Mailchimp to Ably. A trigger fires from one place; an action lands in another.
Mailchimp triggers
Ably actions
Recurring trigger
Notis starts this workflow on a schedule, such as daily, weekly, or during business hours.
Query Batch Presence
This tool enables querying the presence states of multiple channels in a single api request. the api retrieves the member presence details of the specified channels in parallel.
Webhook trigger
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Query Batch Presence History
This tool enables querying presence history for multiple channels in a single api request. it uses the get endpoint at https://rest.ably.io/presence to retrieve the member presence history details of the specified channels in parallel.
Campaign Trigger
Triggered when a campaign is sent or experiences an event in Mailchimp
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.
Profile Update Trigger
Triggered when a subscriber's profile is updated in Mailchimp
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.
Subscribe Trigger
Triggered when a subscriber subscribes to Mailchimp
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.
Unsubscribe Trigger
Triggered when a subscriber unsubscribes from Mailchimp
Get Channel History
This tool retrieves the message history for a specified ably channel. it uses the get /channels/{channelid}/messages endpoint to return a paginated list of messages in chronological order, subject to parameters such as 'channelid', 'limit', 'direction', 'start', and 'end'. the tool is useful for auditing, recovering missed messages, analyzing channel activity, and debugging message flows. authentication is required via basic or token authentication.
Get Channel Presence History
This tool retrieves the history of presence messages for a specified channel in ably. it allows you to query presence events on a channel within a given time period.
Get Ably Service Time
This tool retrieves the current server time from ably's service in milliseconds since the epoch. it is particularly useful for time synchronization and generating valid tokenrequest timestamps to prevent replay attacks. the endpoint supports multiple content types, handles http errors, network issues, and is a fundamental tool for ensuring accurate timing in ably applications.
Four ways to start an automation.
A trigger is the event that kicks a workflow off. Notis supports four kinds: an event in a connected app, an inbound webhook, a recurring schedule, and soon, your own database.
Integration triggers
Fire when something happens inside a connected app. New Notion page, Stripe charge, Linear issue: any of 1,000+ apps can start a workflow.
Webhook triggers
A unique URL per workflow. Anything that can send an HTTP POST can start an automation, including no-code tools that speak webhooks.
Recurring triggers
Cron-style schedules run a workflow on the clock. Daily standups, hourly syncs, business-hours-only digests: the workhorse of Notis.
Database triggers
Watch a row, query, or threshold in your own database and fire the moment the data changes. Row inserted, value crosses a limit, query starts matching.
Classic automation breaks. AI adapts.
Same triggers and actions, smarter middle. AI handles the fuzziness that breaks traditional Zapier-style workflows the moment a field gets renamed.
Describe it. Notis builds it.
