Why this helps
A large asset conversion can take long enough to time out a client and leave you unsure whether it finished.
- Use asynchronous conversion for large or long-running files.
- Avoid relying on a client connection to stay open for the conversion.
- Start processing through an HTTP request.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect ActiveTrail and ConvertAPI once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and name it.
- 3Tell Notis to run ConvertAPI's asynchronous conversion for the file and conversion details in each request.
- 4Choose the webhook trigger and a channel for run reports.
- 5Test with one real large file and review the job information returned.
