Check document API availability proactively
Create a synthetic API check for an endpoint your document workflow depends on, using the endpoint and test details you provide.
Trigger
Webhook received
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Action
Create Synthetic API Test
Creates a synthetic API test to monitor API availability and performance from multiple locations.
Why this helps
An endpoint can become unavailable before anyone notices through a document processing issue.
- Set up proactive endpoint monitoring.
- Use a specific endpoint supplied by your team.
- Catch availability issues independently of manual checks.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Affinda and Datadog once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and name it.
- 3Tell Notis to create a Synthetic API test using the supplied endpoint and test configuration.
- 4Choose the webhook trigger and select where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real endpoint and review the created test.
Questions about this workflow
Will the workflow discover the correct endpoint?
No. Provide the endpoint and the test configuration your team intends to monitor.
Does creating the test validate the full document workflow?
A synthetic API test checks the configured API test. It does not by itself prove that the full document workflow succeeds.
