Use Ably presence to route webhook follow-up

Let current channel activity guide where an incoming CRM update gets attention.

Trigger

Webhook received

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

Action

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.

Why this helps

External updates can land without a clear destination or an active audience.

  • Find active channels faster
  • Route updates with current context
  • Reduce manual channel checking

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect Ably in Notis once.
  • 2Create an automation named Webhook Presence Routing.
  • 3Tell Notis to query presence for the specified channels and recommend the active destination for the webhook update.
  • 4Choose a Notis webhook trigger.
  • 5Choose where run reports go, then test with one representative webhook.

Questions about this workflow

Does it move the webhook data automatically?

It reports the presence results and routing recommendation; publishing requires a separate Ably publish action.

Can it inspect several channels?

Yes. The batch presence action queries multiple specified channels in one request.
