Make large ActiveMerge PDFs easier to store and share
When a generated PDF is too large for the next step, have Notis send it for optimization from a webhook request.
Trigger
Webhook received
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Action
Optimize PDF
Reduces a PDF’s file size while maintaining its quality.
Why this helps
Large PDFs can slow down sharing and consume more storage, leaving another file task between generation and delivery.
- Reduce PDF file size while maintaining quality
- Prepare documents for storage or bandwidth limits
- Process only files identified by an incoming request
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect ActiveMerge and Api2pdf once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, then choose New Automation.
- 3Tell Notis to optimize the PDF identified in each request to reduce its file size.
- 4Choose the webhook trigger and select where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real ActiveMerge PDF response ID.
Questions about this workflow
Does optimization guarantee a specific file size?
No specific size is guaranteed. Api2pdf optimizes the document while maintaining quality; check the returned result with a real file.
What should the webhook include?
Include the PDF response ID to optimize and any context your instruction needs.
