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 patterns are scattered across channels and easy to forget between launches or support shifts.

  • Review several channels together
  • Create repeatable participation reports
  • Reduce manual presence lookups

  • 3Tell Notis which channels and time window to review and how to summarize differences.
  • 4Pick a recurring schedule and choose a report channel.
