Notis

Verify a file conversion before you process it

Send a file conversion request to Notis and get a compatibility check before ConvertAPI does the work.

Trigger

Webhook received

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

Action

Check Conversion Support

Checks whether a specific file format conversion is supported.

Why this helps

A conversion request can fail after you have already spent time preparing and routing the file.

  • Catch unsupported format combinations early.
  • Avoid starting a conversion that cannot complete.
  • Keep a lightweight compatibility check in your file workflow.

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 check whether the requested source format can convert to the desired output format.
  • 4Choose the notis_webhook trigger and select where run reports should go.
  • 5Test with one real conversion request.

Questions about this workflow

What starts this automation?

An HTTP request to its Notis webhook starts the automation. AnyDB has no listed trigger events.

Does the workflow convert the file?

No. It checks whether the requested conversion is supported. Use a conversion action in a separate workflow to process a compatible file.

What information should the webhook request include?

Include the source and destination formats so Notis can ask ConvertAPI to check that specific combination.
