Upload raw device file data efficiently
Move raw file data into ConvertAPI and reuse its file ID in subsequent conversions.
Trigger
Webhook received
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Action
Upload File (octet-stream)
Why this helps
Repeatedly handing raw data through conversion steps can add unnecessary work to file processing.
- Upload raw data with application/octet-stream.
- Obtain a file ID for reuse across subsequent conversions.
- Trigger the upload from a webhook carrying file data.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Adafruit IO and ConvertAPI once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and give it a name.
- 3Tell Notis to upload the webhook's raw file data as an octet-stream and report the file ID.
- 4Choose the webhook trigger and where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real raw file payload.
Questions about this workflow
When should I use this upload?
Use it when the webhook has raw file data and you want to upload it efficiently for reuse.
Does this action create a converted file?
No. It uploads the raw file data; a separate conversion action is needed to transform it.
