Keep large document conversions from timing out
Let long conversions run asynchronously when a large file is tied to an Affinity deal or contact.
Trigger
Webhook received
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Action
Async Convert
Starts an asynchronous file conversion.
Why this helps
Large files can outlast a normal request, leaving founders unsure whether a conversion is still underway.
- Use an asynchronous conversion for large or long-running files.
- Reduce client timeout risk.
- Keep the request linked to the Affinity context supplied.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Affinity and ConvertAPI once in Notis.
- 2Create an automation from any channel in plain language, or in Automations, New Automation.
- 3Describe the outcome in one instruction: use asynchronous conversion for the supplied large or long-running Affinity-linked file and report the job details.
- 4Pick the webhook trigger and choose where run reports go.
- 5Test with one real file that is large or expected to take a while.
Questions about this workflow
When should I use this instead of a regular conversion?
Use it for large or long-running files where a client timeout is a concern.
Does this workflow guarantee the converted file is ready immediately?
No. The action performs an asynchronous conversion, so the report should include the returned job details and status information.
