Why this helps
A PDF can be generated without anyone knowing it still needs a check, approval, or follow-up.
- Make pending review work visible in Airtable.
- Keep the PDF link and review context together.
- Reduce the chance that a generated document is overlooked.
Setup

- 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 review record for each PDF job and include the review context supplied with the request.
- 4Pick the webhook trigger and choose where run reports go.
- 5Test with one real document and check the review record.
Questions about this workflow
Does this approve the PDF automatically?
No. It creates an Airtable record for review; a person can then review the document.
Can I set a reviewer?
Include the reviewer details in the webhook request or prompt. The workflow cannot infer an unspecified reviewer.
