Create a version for a new document research workflow

Use the workflow specification as the starting point for a versioned Actor change that is easier to review.

Trigger

Webhook received

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

Action

Create Actor Version

Create a new Actor version with source code and configuration.

Why this helps

A new document process can need a tailored Actor version, but version setup is easy to leave until later.

  • Tie a version change to a clear workflow request.
  • Create a version with the required source type.
  • Keep version setup connected to document context.

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect Affinda and Apify once in the Notis portal.
  • 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and name it.
  • 3Tell Notis to parse the workflow specification with Affinda and create a version for the specified Actor using the supplied version number, source type, and required source-specific parameters.
  • 4Choose the webhook trigger and select where run reports should go.
  • 5Test with a development Actor and verify all required version details before using the version.

Questions about this workflow

Can the version be created without a source type?

No. The action requires a version number and source type, plus parameters required by that source type.

Does this build the Actor image?

Creating a version is a version configuration action. Use the build action when you need to build the Actor.
