  • Generates a quick visual preview of the first page of a PDF or office file.
  • Uses a recurring schedule for routine document collection.
  • Helps triage documents before opening them individually.

  • 3Tell Notis to use Agenty to gather the specified document URLs and generate a thumbnail for each with Api2pdf.
  • 4Pick a recurring schedule and choose where run reports should go.
  • 5Test with one real PDF or office document URL.
