Check a research collection at a document checkpoint

Retrieve collection details when a document driven research process reaches the point where you need a status check.

Trigger

Webhook received

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

Action

Get Collection

Retrieves details about a collection.

Why this helps

It takes extra effort to find a collection and check its counts after a document workflow moves forward.

  • Retrieve details for a specified collection
  • Check collection counts at a useful workflow checkpoint
  • Avoid manually reopening Countdown API

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect Affinda and Countdown API once in the Notis portal.
  • 2Create an automation and describe which known collection to inspect when the document checkpoint occurs.
  • 3Choose a webhook trigger for the checkpoint details.
  • 4Choose where run reports should go.
  • 5Test with one real document event and a valid collection ID.

Questions about this workflow

Does the parsed document need to contain the collection ID?

The action needs a collection ID. Use one supplied in the webhook context or otherwise available to the automation.

Can this workflow modify the collection?

No. It retrieves details for a single collection.
