Turn an Ably webhook PDF into a signature request
When a one-off document is ready, have Notis start the signing process from the PDF supplied with the webhook request.
Trigger
Webhook received
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Action
Create Submission From PDF
Creates and sends a one-off PDF submission for electronic signature.
Why this helps
One-off documents need signatures too, but manually uploading each PDF adds another handoff to remember.
- Start a one-off signature workflow from a supplied PDF.
- Pass along custom field values and webhook notifications when available.
- Reduce the manual step between document preparation and signing.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Ably and Docuseal once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation and describe how a request with a PDF should create a one-off Docuseal submission.
- 3Pick the webhook trigger and have your Ably-connected app or backend send the request with the PDF and needed signing details.
- 4Choose a channel for run reports, then test with one real PDF and verify the submission.
Questions about this workflow
Is an Ably event available as the trigger?
No. Choose the Notis webhook trigger. An external app or backend must send an HTTP request to start the automation.
Can this use an existing template?
This workflow uses the Create Submission From PDF action for a one-off submission. For an existing Docuseal template, use a template-based submission workflow instead.
