Give every preview deployment a simple testing guide
Help reviewers start testing without asking where to go or what to check.
Trigger
Webhook received
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Action
Create Document
Tool to create a PDF or Excel document synchronously from HTML content or URL. Use when you need to generate a document file from HTML data. The document is returned immediately as a downloadable file. Either document_content or document_url must be provided, but not both.
Why this helps
Preview environments arrive with short-lived links and incomplete context, causing avoidable clarification messages.
- Keep the preview URL with build and change context.
- Give reviewers a consistent place for supplied testing notes.
- Reduce repeated questions before feedback begins.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect CircleCI and DocRaptor to Notis once in the portal.
- 2Create an automation and describe the preview testing guide in one plain-language prompt.
- 3Select an incoming webhook trigger and route preview-ready notifications to the Notis webhook.
- 4Choose a run-report channel and test with one real preview deployment.
Questions about this workflow
Can the guide include the preview link?
Yes, if the webhook request includes the URL and the prompt asks Notis to include it.
Does this test the preview automatically?
No. It prepares a guide for reviewers; the team still performs the testing.
