For large or long-running ActiveMerge files, let ConvertAPI handle the conversion asynchronously.
Trigger

Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Action
Async Convert

Why this helps
Long conversions can outlast a client request and make it unclear whether processing completed.
- Use the async conversion action for large or long-running files.
- Reduce the risk of client timeouts during conversion.
- Create a conversion job that can be managed with its returned details.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect ActiveMerge and ConvertAPI once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, or tell Notis from any channel.
- 3Describe which supplied large or long-running file should be converted asynchronously and to what format.
- 4Pick the webhook trigger and choose where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real file and review the returned job details.
Questions about this workflow
When should I use async conversion?
ConvertAPI describes it for large or long-running files when you want to avoid client timeouts.
Does this workflow wait for the finished file?
The listed action performs an asynchronous conversion. Its description does not specify a completion trigger, so configure expectations around the returned job details.
