Generate consistent credential PDFs from a template
Keep your document layout in a Cloudlayer template and send credential data to Notis when a certificate needs to be generated.
Trigger
Webhook received
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Action
Template to PDF
Generate a PDF from a template and data; processing runs asynchronously by default.
Why this helps
Repeatedly formatting certificate documents makes a simple credential task take more focus than it should.
- Use a predefined Cloudlayer template or supplied custom template markup.
- Populate template variables with credential data included in the request.
- Reuse a consistent document layout across certificate runs.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Accredible certificates and Cloudlayer once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and name it for certificate generation.
- 3Tell Notis which supplied template and credential data to use for the PDF.
- 4Choose the webhook trigger and the channel for run reports.
- 5Test with one real request and review the generated PDF.
Questions about this workflow
What template can I use?
Cloudlayer supports a predefined template ID or a base64 encoded custom HTML or Nunjucks template. Supply the template and data needed for your use case.
Can Notis infer missing recipient or certificate details?
No. Include the details required by the template in the webhook request or make them available through the connected apps.
