Why this helps
Downloading a hosted file locally just to upload it again adds friction to file processing.
- Import a remote file from its URL.
- Skip the local download and reupload step.
- Use a webhook to start the import.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Notis and ConvertAPI once in the portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and describe importing the provided remote file URL in one instruction.
- 3Choose the Notis webhook trigger and choose where run reports go.
- 4Test with one real URL to a file you can access.
Questions about this workflow
Does this action convert the imported file?
No. It uploads a file from a remote URL to ConvertAPI; conversion requires a separate conversion action.
What kind of link should I provide?
Provide a remote URL that ConvertAPI can access.
