  • Push Notifications — Send direct push notifications to devices or client IDs for mobile and web engagement.
  • Channel Management — List active channels, fetch metadata, and monitor usage statistics across your application.

Publish a message to the 'orders' channel with the event name 'new_order' and data '{"id": 123}'

I've published the message to the 'orders' channel. The message was successfully accepted by Ably.

Check who is currently online in the 'chat-room-1' channel.

I've retrieved the presence data for 'chat-room-1'. There are currently 3 active members: user_01, user_05, and admin_01.
