Get details for a Dotsimple media file referenced in Ably

Check a file's available details from the same request where your team referenced it.

Trigger

Webhook received

Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.

Action

Get Media File

Retrieve details about a media file.

Why this helps

When someone shares a media file reference in a conversation, checking its details can break the flow of planning.

  • Retrieve metadata for a specific known media file.
  • Keep the file reference and request context together.
  • Make asset checks easier to complete during a conversation.

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect Ably and Dotsimple once through the Notis portal.
  • 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, or ask Notis to create it in plain language.
  • 3In one instruction, ask Notis to retrieve details for the Dotsimple media file ID included in the incoming Ably request.
  • 4Choose a webhook trigger and a channel for run reports.
  • 5Send one real request with a valid media file ID and review the returned details.

Questions about this workflow

Can the workflow find a file if I do not know its ID?

This action requires a media file ID. Use a media list workflow to browse for a file first.

Does it change the file?

No. It retrieves file details and does not modify or delete media.
