Trigger

Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Action
Upload File From URL
Uploads a file directly from a remote location.
Why this helps
A file hosted elsewhere can stall a workflow when someone has to download and reupload it by hand.
- Import a file from a remote URL without downloading it locally.
- Reduce manual upload steps.
- Prepare remote files for a later conversion.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect AnyDB and ConvertAPI once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, or describe it to Notis from any channel.
- 3In one instruction, ask Notis to upload the supplied remote file URL to ConvertAPI.
- 4Choose the notis_webhook trigger and select where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real, accessible file URL.
Questions about this workflow
What does the workflow need?
It needs an accessible remote URL for the file to import.
Does this action convert the file?
No. It uploads the file to ConvertAPI. Use a separate conversion action to transform it.
Can I use a private URL?
Only if ConvertAPI can access it. The listed action does not describe an authentication mechanism for protected URLs.
