Turn a new Airtable view into an Affinda document intake cue
When you create a view for a document workflow, Notis can help submit an available document to Affinda for parsing without a separate handoff.
Trigger
View Created
Triggers when a new view is created in an Airtable base.
Action
Create Document
Tool to upload a new document for parsing. use when you have the document file or a public url and need to extract structured data immediately.
Why this helps
A new document view can sit idle while someone remembers to start parsing the files it represents.
- Use a new view as a prompt to start document processing.
- Send an available file or public URL to Affinda for parsing.
- Reduce manual handoffs between Airtable and document processing.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Airtable and Affinda once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and give it a name.
- 3Describe in one instruction how to identify the relevant Airtable record and submit its available document file or public URL to Affinda.
- 4Pick the Airtable View Created trigger and choose where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real view and confirm the source document is available for upload.
Questions about this workflow
Does creating a view provide a document to Affinda?
Not by itself. The Airtable event signals that a view was created. The workflow needs a relevant record with a document file or public URL available for Affinda's Create Document action.
Will Affinda parse the document right away?
The Create Document action uploads a document for parsing. Use it when the input is available and ready to process.
