Check Carbone health before processing documents
Check that report generation is available before spending time on document extraction.
Trigger
Webhook received
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Action
Get Carbone Server Status
Checks the server’s current status and health.
Why this helps
A document can be processed successfully, only for the next report step to fail because the rendering service is unavailable.
- Check service health before a document run.
- Reduce avoidable work when report generation is unavailable.
- Surface readiness information in the run report.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Affinda and Carbone once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, or tell Notis to create it from any channel.
- 3Ask Notis to check Carbone server status first and proceed with Affinda document processing only when the status supports continuing.
- 4Pick a webhook trigger and choose where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real request and review the reported status.
Questions about this workflow
Does the status check guarantee a later report will succeed?
No. It reports current server status, which can change before a later action runs.
What should happen if Carbone is unhealthy?
Tell Notis to stop and report the status so the document run can be retried when appropriate.
