Action

Why this helps
Coordinating API version changes across automated document workflows can add a manual setup step.
- Start the version setting workflow with an HTTP request.
- Set the Carbone API version for subsequent requests.
- Reduce manual coordination when changing workflow configuration.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Carbone once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, or tell Notis what to do from any channel.
- 3In one instruction, specify the Carbone API version to set when the webhook is received.
- 4Choose a webhook as the trigger and select where run reports should go.
- 5Test by sending one real HTTP request and review the run report.
Questions about this workflow
Does the webhook itself set the version?
The webhook starts the automation. Notis uses the instruction to run Carbone's Set Carbone API Version action.
Can this generate a report too?
This workflow sets the API version. Use a separate report generation workflow for rendering documents.
What should the request contain?
Provide the information your instruction needs to determine the version. Do not rely on a version value that is absent from the request or instruction.
