Track every requested PDF in Airtable
Send a document request to Notis and keep the follow-up in the Airtable workflow you already use.
Trigger
Webhook received
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Action
Create a record
Creates a new record in a specified airtable table; field values must conform to the table's column types.
Why this helps
PDF requests can disappear between chat, document generation, and the next person who needs to act.
- Keep new document requests in one searchable queue.
- Make the next follow-up easier to find.
- Reduce manual copying from chat into a tracker.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Cloudlayer and Airtable once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and give it a clear name.
- 3Tell Notis to record each incoming PDF request as a new Airtable record with the request details and a pending status.
- 4Choose the notis_webhook trigger and select where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real PDF request and confirm the record appears in Airtable.
Questions about this workflow
Does this generate the PDF too?
This workflow records an incoming request in Airtable. It does not claim to generate a PDF unless you include that as part of the Cloudlayer request outside this action.
What starts the automation?
An HTTP request to the Notis webhook starts it. Cloudlayer does not provide a trigger event in this setup.
