- 4Choose a webhook trigger and select where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one approved example and check the created copy.
Questions about this workflow
Can it create a copy if the template is not identified?
The existing file must be identifiable from the record or instruction so Notis can copy the intended template.
Does this modify the original template?
No. The copy action duplicates the existing file.
