Parse documents shared by your Ably-connected agent
Send a document link from your agent and let Affinda extract its useful details, without a separate upload step.
Trigger
Webhook received
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Action
Create Document
Tool to upload a new document for parsing. use when you have the document file or a public url and need to extract structured data immediately.
Why this helps
Important documents arrive in agent conversations, then wait while someone downloads, uploads, and checks them manually.
- Capture document links while they are still in context.
- Start Affinda parsing from a public document URL.
- Reduce manual handoffs between an agent conversation and document processing.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Ably and Affinda once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and give it a name.
- 3In one instruction, tell Notis to use a document URL received from your Ably-connected agent to create an Affinda document for parsing.
- 4Choose notis_webhook as the trigger and arrange for the agent or its caller to send the URL to that webhook.
- 5Choose a report channel, then test with one real public document URL.
Questions about this workflow
Does Ably provide the trigger for this automation?
No. Ably has no trigger events in this workflow package. The Notis webhook starts the automation when an HTTP request supplies the document URL.
Does this workflow upload a local file?
The described workflow uses a public URL for the document. A URL must be accessible to Affinda for parsing.
