  • Uses supplied category details
  • Creates a run report for visibility

  • 1Connect Ably and Cloudcart once in the Notis portal.
  • 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and name it for category requests.
  • 3Describe in one instruction what category details the request should contain and when to create it.
  • 4Choose the webhook trigger and select where run reports should go.
  • 5Test with one real request for a category you intend to add.

Questions about this workflow

Yes. The request should supply the details required to create the category.

Can it update an existing category instead?
