Create a PDF brief from an Ably event
Route a useful event from your Ably system into Notis and get a shareable PDF without stopping to assemble the brief by hand.
Trigger
Webhook received
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Action
Create Document
Tool to create a PDF or Excel document synchronously from HTML content or URL. Use when you need to generate a document file from HTML data. The document is returned immediately as a downloadable file. Either document_content or document_url must be provided, but not both.
Why this helps
Important event details can get buried in a stream, then take time to copy into a document for review or sharing.
- Turn selected event details into a readable PDF.
- Reduce manual copying between event handling and document creation.
- Keep a shareable record of important event context.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Ably and DocRaptor once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, or tell Notis what you want from any channel.
- 3In one instruction, ask Notis to turn the incoming event payload into a concise PDF brief using the relevant details.
- 4Choose the notis_webhook trigger and the channel for run reports.
- 5Send one real example event to the webhook and review the generated PDF.
Questions about this workflow
Does Ably provide a trigger event for this automation?
No. Start it with a Notis webhook, then arrange for the relevant Ably event handling flow to send an HTTP request to that webhook.
Can I control what appears in the PDF?
Yes. Describe the content and structure you want in your instruction. Notis can use information in the payload, but details absent from it must be supplied separately.
