Retrieve a document file before storing it
When a request provides a file URL, retrieve the content and prepare it for the next storage step in your workflow.
Trigger
Webhook received
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Action
Download File
Download a file from its URL.
Why this helps
A document link alone may not be enough when a later workflow step needs the actual file content.
- Retrieve file content from a supplied URL.
- Obtain an S3 key for subsequent upload tests or steps.
- Reduce manual file handling between generation and storage.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect ActiveMerge and Bubble once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and give it a name.
- 3Tell Notis to download the file at the URL supplied in each request and pass its returned key to the stated next step.
- 4Choose the webhook trigger and have the sender post a usable document URL to its URL.
- 5Choose a report channel, then test with one real file URL and verify the returned key.
Questions about this workflow
Does downloading the file save it in Bubble?
No. This action retrieves file content and returns an S3 key for subsequent upload steps. Use Upload File to store a file in Bubble.
Where does the URL come from?
The webhook request must include a usable URL. ActiveMerge trigger events are not available in this pair.
