Notis

Find past documents without searching by hand

A monthly run can collect document metadata and turn it into a simple index to make recent output easier to revisit.

Trigger

Recurring schedule

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

Action

List Documents (JSON)

Lists previously created documents with metadata in JSON format.

Why this helps

Generated documents become hard to locate when their history is spread across runs and nobody remembers the right title or date.

  • Make prior document output easier to browse.
  • Create a predictable review point for document history.
  • Reduce time spent searching for past generated files.

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect DocRaptor once in the Notis portal.
  • 2Create an automation by describing the index you want in plain language.
  • 3Describe: retrieve the paginated JSON list of previously created documents and create a readable HTML-based index document from the returned metadata.
  • 4Choose a monthly schedule and the destination for run reports.
  • 5Test with one real listing response.

Questions about this workflow

Does the document listing include file contents?

The action returns document metadata in JSON format, not the document contents.

Will the index include every historical document?

The listing is paginated, so the workflow should account for the pages available through the action.
