Trigger
Webhook received
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Action
Upload File From URL

Why this helps
Moving a remote document through a local download and re-upload creates extra handling and delays.
- Import a file directly from a remote URL.
- Avoid manual download and re-upload steps.
- Prepare a remote file for subsequent ConvertAPI operations.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Affinda and ConvertAPI once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, or tell Notis to create it in plain language.
- 3In one instruction, ask Notis to upload the supplied remote document URL to ConvertAPI and report the returned reference.
- 4Pick the Notis webhook trigger and choose where run reports go.
- 5Test with one real, accessible document URL.
Questions about this workflow
Does uploading the URL also convert the document?
No. It uploads the remote file to ConvertAPI. A separate conversion action is needed to convert it.
What kind of URL should I supply?
Supply a remote URL that ConvertAPI can access and that points to the intended document.
