Generate PDFs and get a completion callback
Send one request with document data and a callback URL, then let Craftmypdf handle extended PDF generation in the background.
Trigger
Webhook received
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Action
Create PDF Asynchronously (Extended)
Start PDF creation in the background and return a transaction reference; a callback reports when it is ready.
Why this helps
Long-running document generation can interrupt a workflow when someone has to wait and check for the finished file.
- Keep longer PDF jobs from blocking the next task.
- Get a callback when Craftmypdf finishes generation.
- Use extended generation options where the request needs them.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect ActiveMerge and Craftmypdf once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in the portal or tell Notis from any channel.
- 3Describe how to create an extended asynchronous PDF from the incoming document data and supplied template.
- 4Choose the webhook trigger and configure the sending system to call its HTTP endpoint with the request details.
- 5Choose a report channel, then test with one real document and callback.
