Bring recent channel context to payment triage
Use recent Ably channel history to add context when a payment intent failure needs a closer look.
Trigger
Payment Intent Failed Trigger
Triggered when a payment intent fails in Stripe
Action
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.
Why this helps
Responders often need to search team channels manually to understand what was already discussed.
- Retrieve recent messages from a relevant channel.
- Reduce context switching during failure triage.
- Help responders see existing discussion before following up.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Stripe and Ably once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, with a name and prompt.
- 3Tell Notis to retrieve recent messages from the relevant Ably channel after a failed payment intent and summarize useful context.
- 4Pick the Stripe Payment Intent Failed trigger and choose where run reports go.
- 5Test with one real failure and a channel containing relevant recent discussion.
Questions about this workflow
Does Ably history prove why the payment failed?
No. It returns channel messages for context; the cause must come from Stripe event data or team discussion.
Can the results be limited?
The history action supports parameters such as channel, limit, direction, start, and end. State the desired scope in your instruction.

Supported Triggers and Actions
Notis builds workflows that link Stripe to Ably. A trigger fires from one place; an action lands in another.
Stripe 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.
Charge Failed Trigger
Triggered when a direct charge fails in Stripe's legacy Charges API
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.
Checkout Session Completed Trigger
Triggered when a checkout session is completed in Stripe
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.
Invoice Payment Succeeded Trigger
Triggered when an invoice payment is successful in Stripe
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.
Payment Intent Failed Trigger
Triggered when a payment intent fails in Stripe
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.
