Stage a file for its next conversion
Have Notis upload a supplied file so later ConvertAPI conversion steps can reuse its file ID.
Trigger
Webhook received
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Action
Upload File (Multipart)
Why this helps
A file needed for several conversion steps can require repeated uploads and manual handling.
- Upload multipart form data to ConvertAPI temporary storage.
- Receive a file ID for subsequent conversions.
- Reuse the stored file for a later workflow step during its temporary availability.
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 file should be uploaded to ConvertAPI temporary storage for subsequent conversion.
- 4Pick the webhook trigger and choose where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real file and review the returned file ID.
Questions about this workflow
