Run template-based PDF generation asynchronously
Hand off a template document for PDF creation, then follow the job until it is ready.
Trigger
Webhook received
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Action
Create Async Document
Creates a document asynchronously from HTML content.
Why this helps
Long-running document generation can interrupt a workflow that expects an immediate file.
- Submit PDF creation without waiting for the document in the same response.
- Use DocRaptor's async completion status or callback support.
- Keep longer document jobs moving through an automated handoff.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect ActiveMerge and DocRaptor once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation named Async template PDF.
- 3Tell Notis to submit the incoming template HTML to DocRaptor for asynchronous PDF generation.
- 4Pick the webhook trigger and choose where run reports should go.
- 5Send one real template document as a test and inspect the job response.
Questions about this workflow
When should I use asynchronous generation?
Use it when a PDF job may take longer or you want to track completion through polling or a callback.
Does this workflow download the finished file?
No. It creates the async document. A separate workflow using the download action would be needed to retrieve a completed file.
