Keep a regular archive of document history
A weekly run can retrieve DocRaptor's XML document listing and save a structured archive for later reference.
Trigger
Recurring schedule
Notis starts this workflow on a schedule, such as daily, weekly, or during business hours.
Action
List Documents (XML)
Lists previously created documents with metadata in XML format.
Why this helps
Without a regular record of document history, it is harder to reconstruct when documents were generated or what output exists.
- Preserve a recurring record of document metadata.
- Use a structured XML representation for archive workflows.
- Make past generation activity easier to review.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect DocRaptor once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in plain language from the portal or any Notis channel.
- 3Describe: retrieve the paginated XML document listing and save the returned metadata in an archive document.
- 4Choose a weekly schedule and where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real XML listing response.
Questions about this workflow
Does this archive the generated PDF files?
No. The XML listing action returns metadata. Downloading completed async files requires a download_id and the dedicated download action.
Could the listing span multiple pages?
Yes. The list action is paginated, so the workflow should not assume one page contains the full history.
