Handle long-running file conversions asynchronously
Send a conversion request for a large or slow file and let ConvertAPI process it asynchronously.
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
A long conversion can exceed a client timeout and leave you unsure whether the work started.
- Use asynchronous conversion for long-running files.
- Reduce client timeout issues during conversion.
- Keep the job result visible in the run report.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Anthropic administrator and ConvertAPI once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and name it.
- 3Describe that Notis should submit the supplied large or long-running file for asynchronous conversion and report the job details.
- 4Pick the webhook trigger and choose where run reports go.
- 5Test with one real file that typically takes a long time to convert.
Questions about this workflow
When should I use asynchronous conversion?
Use it for large or long-running files to avoid client timeouts.
Does this action remove the job afterward?
No. Deleting an async job is a separate action and should only be used when the job is no longer required.
