Trigger

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

Action

Create Template From PDF

Creates a reusable fillable document template from a PDF.

Why this helps

A document used more than once can require repeated setup before it is ready for signing.

  • Create a reusable Docuseal template from a PDF.
  • Prepare a recurring document for future signature requests.
  • Keep PDF handoff connected to the ActiveMerge workflow.

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect ActiveMerge and Docuseal once in the Notis portal.
  • 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation.
  • 3Tell Notis to create a Docuseal template from the PDF supplied by ActiveMerge.
  • 4Pick the webhook trigger and choose where run reports go.
  • 5Test with one real PDF.

Questions about this workflow

Can Docuseal identify fields in the PDF?

Fields can be defined using supported tags or pixel coordinates. Ensure the PDF or your setup provides the field information needed.

Does template creation send the document for signing?

No. Template creation prepares a reusable document. A separate submission action sends it to signers.
