Bring a remote file into ConvertAPI
When an ActiveMerge workflow supplies a remote file URL, send it to ConvertAPI without a local download step.
Trigger
Webhook received
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Action
Upload File From URL
Uploads a file directly from a remote location.
Why this helps
Downloading a remote file just to upload it again adds manual work and another place for it to go missing.
- Import a remote file directly from its URL.
- Skip a separate local download and re-upload step.
- Prepare a file for subsequent ConvertAPI processing.
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 that a supplied remote file URL should be uploaded to ConvertAPI for later processing.
- 4Pick the webhook trigger and choose where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real remote file URL and review the upload result.
Questions about this workflow
Does this convert the file?
No. This action uploads a file from a remote URL. Use a conversion action for the next processing step.
Do I need to download the file first?
No. ConvertAPI's URL upload action imports a file from a remote server without downloading it locally.
