Notis

Run long Agility CMS file conversions asynchronously

Choose asynchronous processing when a conversion may take too long for a standard client request.

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

Long-running file conversions can time out and leave the next step unclear.

  • Use asynchronous processing for long conversions
  • Avoid client timeouts during conversion
  • Create a job for a later status or cleanup step

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect Agility CMS and ConvertAPI once in the Notis portal.
  • 2Create an automation from any channel or in Automations, New Automation.
  • 3Tell Notis to start an asynchronous conversion for the supplied Agility CMS file and specified conversion.
  • 4Pick the webhook trigger and choose where run reports go.
  • 5Test with one real large or long-running conversion.

Questions about this workflow

When should I use asynchronous conversion?

Use it for large or long-running file conversions to avoid client timeouts.

Does this workflow also delete the job?

No. Deleting an async job is a separate ConvertAPI action for when the job is no longer required.
