Start Affinda document parsing from an HTTP request
Send a document URL to a Notis webhook and let the automation create an Affinda document for parsing.
Trigger
Webhook received
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Action
Create Document
Tool to upload a new document for parsing. use when you have the document file or a public url and need to extract structured data immediately.
Why this helps
Documents arriving through separate forms or tools can stall before anyone submits them for extraction.
- Start parsing from an HTTP request in another process.
- Route public document URLs to Affinda with less manual handoff.
- Get a report when the automation runs.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Affinda once in Notis.
- 2Create an automation in the portal or tell Notis in plain language.
- 3Describe that the HTTP request should provide a public document URL to submit to Affinda.
- 4Pick a webhook trigger and choose where run reports go.
- 5Test with one real public document URL and review the Affinda result.
Questions about this workflow
What causes this workflow to run?
An HTTP request sent to the Notis webhook starts the automation.
What document input should the request include?
Use a public document URL that Affinda can access. The request and prompt should clearly identify that URL.
Does the webhook configure Affinda itself?
No. The workflow uses Affinda's Create Document action to submit the provided document for parsing.
