Remember to review access to shared PDFs
For a shared PDF that needs an access check, send Notis a webhook with the link and review date to create a calendar checkpoint.
Trigger
Webhook received
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Action
Create Event
Creates an event on a google calendar, needing rfc3339 utc start/end times (end after start) and write access to the calendar. by default, adds the organizer as an attendee unless exclude organizer is set to true.
Why this helps
Shared document access can be easy to forget once the original task feels finished.
- Set a visible checkpoint for reviewing a shared document.
- Keep the PDF link with the scheduled access check.
- Use a date supplied for the specific document instead of relying on memory.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect CloudPDF and Google Calendar once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and give it a clear name.
- 3Tell Notis to create an access-review event for a shared-PDF webhook using its supplied link, date, and context.
- 4Pick the webhook trigger and choose where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real sharing webhook and review the calendar event.

Does this change CloudPDF sharing permissions?
