Create Salesforce contacts from CloudPDF document requests

Capture the person connected to a document without interrupting your workflow to enter contact details by hand.

Trigger

Webhook received

Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.

Action

Create contact

Creates a new contact in salesforce with the specified information.

Why this helps

Contact details associated with a document request can be left in an inbox or notes instead of reaching Salesforce.

  • Create a Salesforce contact from details included in the request.
  • Capture a customer's document-related contact information in the CRM.
  • Avoid a separate manual data entry step.

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect CloudPDF and Salesforce once in the Notis portal.
  • 2Create an automation named for CloudPDF contact capture.
  • 3Tell Notis to create a Salesforce contact from the person's details in the webhook request and use a supplied account ID when available.
  • 4Choose the webhook trigger and where run reports should go.
  • 5Test with a real request containing a last name and any required contact details.

Questions about this workflow

What is required to create a contact?

Salesforce requires a last name. If you include an account ID, it must identify an existing account.

Does CloudPDF have a native trigger here?

No CloudPDF trigger events are listed, so this automation starts from a Notis webhook request.
