Notis

Clear a document queue on a schedule

Set a recurring run to work through document links you provide and create corresponding Affinda documents.

Trigger

Recurring schedule

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

Action

Create Document

Uploads a document for data extraction.

Why this helps

A backlog of document links can linger when intake depends on remembering to process it.

  • Runs on a recurring Notis schedule.
  • Processes a supplied queue rather than relying on manual reminders.
  • Creates Affinda documents for extraction.

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect Abstract and Affinda once in the Notis portal.
  • 2Create an automation by telling Notis where to find the document URL queue and to create an Affinda document for each eligible item.
  • 3Pick a recurring schedule trigger.
  • 4Choose where run reports should go.
  • 5Test with one real document URL from the queue.

Questions about this workflow

Where does the queue come from?

You need to provide Notis access to the queue or include its location in your instruction. The available event details do not specify a queue source.

Does the schedule discover documents on its own?

No. The schedule starts the run; the document URLs or queue location must be supplied.
