Point existing Dub links to revised documents
Keep a familiar short link working when a generated document is replaced or revised.
Trigger
Webhook received
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Action
Upsert a Link
Create a short link or update an existing one.
Why this helps
A revised file can leave collaborators with an old destination even when the share link is already in circulation.
- Reuse an existing short link for a revised destination.
- Reduce confusion when a document URL changes.
- Keep the update tied to a document revision handoff.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect ActiveMerge and Dub once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, or tell Notis in plain language from any channel.
- 3In one instruction, ask Notis to update the matching Dub link using the supplied link identity and revised document URL.
- 4Pick the webhook trigger and arrange for a request containing the link identity and new URL to start the automation.
- 5Choose a report channel, then test with one real revised document.
Questions about this workflow
What does the webhook request need to include?
It needs the replacement document URL and enough information to identify the existing Dub link, such as its domain and key or an external ID.
Will this create a link if there is no match?
Dub's Upsert a Link action creates a link if the supplied domain and key do not match an existing link. Include the intended identity in the request.
