Connect intake packs to Formdesk visitor records

Pair a new participant's prepared PDF pack with a Formdesk visitor record, so the next form interaction starts with the right context.

Trigger

Webhook received

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

Action

Create Visitor

Tool to add a new visitor to a specific Formdesk form. Use when you need to register a visitor's metadata (e.g., name, email) before submitting entries.

Why this helps

A prepared intake pack does not automatically establish the visitor record needed for a smooth next step.

  • Create a visitor record as part of preparing the intake pack.
  • Reduce steps between document preparation and form access.
  • Keep participant onboarding easier to pick up later.

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect FileToPDF.dev and Formdesk to Notis once in the portal.
  • 2Create an automation in the portal or ask Notis to register participants for intake.
  • 3Use one plain-language instruction asking Notis to create a visitor in the specified Formdesk form using the participant details supplied with the ready PDF request.
  • 4Choose an incoming webhook trigger and a channel for run reports.
  • 5Test with one real participant and verify the visitor record.

Questions about this workflow

Does this create an entry too?

No. It creates a visitor record. Creating a form submission is a separate action.

What information should I send?

Send the participant details needed to identify and register that person in the specified form.
