Why this helps
A growing document queue can make it hard to tell which files deserve attention first.
- Get a visual first look at found documents.
- Spend less time opening files just to identify them.
- Make a recurring document queue easier to scan.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Airtop and Api2pdf once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, or tell Notis in plain language from any channel.
- 3In one instruction, tell Airtop which listing to check and ask Api2pdf to make a first-page thumbnail for the documents found.
- 4Pick a recurring schedule and choose where run reports go.
- 5Test with one real PDF or office document and check the preview.
Questions about this workflow
