Turn generated reference PDFs into a usable library
Give important generated documents a searchable record that includes their topic and available source details.
Trigger
Webhook received
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Action
Create a record
Creates a new record in a specified airtable table; field values must conform to the table's column types.
Why this helps
Reference PDFs accumulate without a clear way to search by topic or understand why they were saved.
- Search reference documents by supplied topic context.
- Keep source and PDF details together.
- Make useful documents easier to reuse.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Api2pdf and Airtable once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, with a name and prompt.
- 3Tell Notis to create a knowledge library record for each reference PDF and use topic details supplied with the request.
- 4Pick the webhook trigger and choose where run reports go.
- 5Test with one real reference PDF.
Questions about this workflow
Will Notis generate a summary of the PDF?
This workflow records supplied details and available links. A summary should be included in the request if you want it stored.
Can it classify by topic?
It can use a topic supplied to the workflow. It cannot reliably invent missing subject context.
