Trigger

Action

Upload File (Multipart)

Why this helps

Repeatedly passing the same file through a workflow adds unnecessary upload work.

  • Upload a file to ConvertAPI temporary storage.
  • Get a file ID for subsequent conversion steps.
  • Support a reusable file input in a multi step workflow.

  • 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 file using multipart form data and retain the returned file ID for subsequent conversion.
  • 4Choose the notis_webhook trigger and select where run reports should go.
  • 5Test with one real file.
