Pause collection processing through a webhook

Use an HTTP request to pause a known collection when operations need to stop.

Trigger

Webhook received

Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.

Action

Stop Collection

Tool to stop (pause) a single collection’s processing by ID. Use when you need to halt a running or queued collection after confirming the target collection ID.

Why this helps

A collection that needs to be halted can keep processing while someone locates its controls.

  • Pause a specified collection from an HTTP request.
  • Reduce the steps needed to halt processing.
  • Send a run report to a chosen channel for visibility.

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect Countdown API once in the Notis portal.
  • 2Create an automation in Automations, then New Automation, and give it a name.
  • 3Tell Notis to pause the specified Countdown API collection when the webhook request identifies its collection ID.
  • 4Pick the webhook trigger and choose where run reports go.
  • 5Test with one real request for a collection ID you intend to pause.

Questions about this workflow

What does pausing do?

It stops processing for a single collection that is running or queued.

How does Notis know which collection to pause?

The request should identify the collection ID; include that requirement in the automation instruction.
