Move approved records into a paper archive

For records that need a physical copy, a scheduled review can surface the approved file and destination without relying on memory.

Trigger

Recurring schedule

Notis starts this workflow on a schedule, such as daily, weekly, or during business hours.

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

Physical archiving adds document lookup and mailing steps to already busy administrative routines.

  • Create a regular review for records marked for physical archiving.
  • Keep the approved file and destination explicit before mailing.
  • Reduce repeated searching and administrative handoffs.

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 review the specified Ably channel for records approved for physical archiving and send the confirmed PDF to the named destination.
  • 4Choose the notis_cron trigger and select where run reports should go.
  • 5Test with one real record and verify the document and destination.

Questions about this workflow

Can this decide which records must be archived?

Define the approval criteria in the instruction and make sure the channel context contains the relevant status and document URL.

What if the destination or PDF is missing?

Have Notis report the missing information and hold the mailing until the destination and document are confirmed.
