Bring a hosted file into ConvertAPI
When a system sends a file URL to your webhook, have ConvertAPI fetch and upload it directly.
Trigger
Webhook received
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Action
Upload File From URL
Tool to upload a file directly from a remote url. use when you need to import files hosted on a remote server without downloading locally.
Why this helps
Downloading a file from one service just to upload it to another creates avoidable steps and context switching.
- Skip manual download and upload
- Import files already hosted remotely
- Make files available in ConvertAPI temporary storage
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect ConvertAPI once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in the portal or tell Notis to create one from any channel.
- 3Describe the outcome: upload the remote file at the URL supplied with the request to ConvertAPI.
- 4Choose an HTTP webhook as the trigger and select where run reports should go.
- 5Test the automation with one real, accessible file URL.
