Trigger a focused historical presence check whenever an operational signal arrives.

Trigger

Webhook received

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

Action

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.

Why this helps

Presence investigations are delayed when someone must manually assemble channel queries.

  • Launch audits from existing systems
  • Review multiple channels together
  • Create repeatable incident evidence

  • 1Connect Ably in Notis once.
  • 2Create an automation and describe the channels and time window to audit.
  • 3Choose a Notis webhook trigger.
  • 4Choose where run reports should go.
  • 5Send one real webhook payload to test the audit.
