Put useful document context directly on the PDF
Add a concise annotation to the document so reviewers see key context without switching back to a separate record.
Trigger
Webhook received
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Action
Add Text to PDF
Add text annotations, such as page numbers, watermarks, headers, or footers, to a PDF.
Why this helps
Reviewers often need to switch between a PDF and extracted data to confirm what a document contains.
- Place selected context directly on a PDF.
- Reduce back and forth between the file and its extracted details.
- Use dynamic page number variables when adding page annotations.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Affinda and Craftmypdf once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, or tell Notis in plain language from any channel.
- 3In one instruction, ask Notis to add specified document context as text at the desired positions on the incoming PDF.
- 4Choose the webhook trigger and select where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real PDF and review the annotation position and text.
Questions about this workflow
Can annotations include page numbers?
The action supports dynamic variables such as {{pageNumber}} and {{totalPages}} for automatic page numbering.
Can this summarize a document on the PDF automatically?
Only if the text to add is available in the webhook input or otherwise supplied in your instruction. The workflow should not assume missing document data.
