Handle requests for a paper copy in one flow
When a customer asks for a printed document, capture the request and route the confirmed PDF and mailing details into a Docupost letter.
Trigger
Webhook received
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Action
Send Letter
Tool to send a letter via u.s. mail with specified recipient, sender, and pdf. use after confirming recipient and document details. example: send letter(to name='john doe', to address='123 main st, ...', file url='https://...')
Why this helps
Paper-copy requests can sit in chat while someone searches for the right file, sender details, and address.
- Turn a clear customer request into a mailing task.
- Keep document and address checks close to the original request.
- Avoid losing paper-copy requests in a busy channel.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Ably and Docupost once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and give it a name.
- 3Tell Notis to check the specified Ably channel for a customer paper-copy request and send the approved PDF only after recipient and sender details are confirmed.
- 4Choose the notis_webhook trigger and select where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real request and confirm the PDF and mailing details.
Questions about this workflow
Can this send any PDF mentioned in the channel?
The instruction should identify the approved document and require confirmation of the recipient and sender details before sending.
What starts the automation?
A Notis webhook starts it. The workflow can then use the instruction to check the relevant Ably channel for the request and required details.
