- Runs heavy conversions asynchronously
- Reduces waiting and timeout risk
- Keeps job information available
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Coda and Convertapi in Notis once.
- 2Create an automation named Background conversion for large Coda exports.
- 3Tell Notis to submit each large new document export to Async Convert and report the job information.
- 4Pick the New Coda Document trigger and choose a report channel.
- 5Test with one large export.
