Generate a PDF from a webhook request

Send an HTTP request to Notis when a document is ready, then create a PDF from the supplied HTML or URL.

Trigger

Webhook received

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

Action

Create Document

Tool to create a PDF or Excel document synchronously from HTML content or URL. Use when you need to generate a document file from HTML data. The document is returned immediately as a downloadable file. Either document_content or document_url must be provided, but not both.

Why this helps

Preparing one-off PDFs from incoming requests can interrupt focused work and create manual follow-up.

  • Start a PDF workflow with an HTTP request.
  • Use supplied HTML or a document URL.
  • Get the generated file immediately from the synchronous action.

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect DocRaptor once in the Notis portal.
  • 2Create an automation in the portal or tell Notis from any channel.
  • 3In one instruction, ask Notis to create a PDF from the HTML content or URL supplied with the request.
  • 4Pick the Notis webhook trigger and choose where run reports go.
  • 5Test with one real request and document example.

Questions about this workflow

What must the request provide?

It should supply HTML content or a URL for the document. The DocRaptor action accepts one of these, not both.

When does the workflow start?
