Update directory category settings from documents
When approved configuration details arrive in a document, Notis can apply clear changes to the matching category and report what it changed.
Trigger
Webhook received
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Action
Update Data Category
Updates the settings for an existing post type.
Why this helps
Category settings can drift from approved plans when configuration changes have to be re-entered by hand.
- Reduce repeated configuration entry
- Apply reviewed category changes consistently
- Keep a run summary of changes
