Create an Affinda document type when a new category is needed
Capture an approved document category and turn it into an Affinda document type without losing the setup request in a backlog.
Trigger
Webhook received
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Action
Create Document Type
Creates a document type in an organization.
Why this helps
New document categories can be agreed on in conversation but never added to the system where files are processed.
- Convert an approved category request into a setup action.
- Keep category creation tied to the document workflow.
- Get a run report to confirm the result.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Affinda once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, or ask Notis from any channel.
- 3Tell Notis to create the Affinda document type described in the webhook request.
- 4Pick the webhook trigger and choose where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one approved category and review the created type.
