Notis

Move lead details from PDF briefs into Formdesk

Let Notis carry prospect information from a finished PDF brief into the form you use to track new leads.

Trigger

Webhook received

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

Action

Create Formdesk Entry

Tool to submit a new entry to a Formdesk form. Use after collecting all form field values to send a new entry for a specific formId. Example: "Submit entry to form 12345 with first_name='Bob', email='bob@example.com'."

Why this helps

Copying prospect details out of generated PDFs interrupts focused work and makes follow-up easier to miss.

  • Capture lead details without switching between a PDF and Formdesk.
  • Keep new inquiries in the same place you use to review submissions.
  • Reserve follow-up time for conversations instead of data entry.

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 in your usual channel.
  • 3In one plain-language instruction, say that when your service sends a completed lead PDF to the Notis webhook, Notis should read its details and create a Formdesk entry.
  • 4Choose an incoming webhook trigger and a channel for run reports.
  • 5Test with one real lead PDF and check the resulting Formdesk entry.

Questions about this workflow

Does FileToPDF.dev provide the trigger for this workflow?

No. FileToPDF.dev has no integration trigger events in this setup. Your service that handles the completed PDF sends a request to a Notis incoming webhook.

What does Notis do with the PDF?

The instruction asks Notis to use the information it can read from the supplied PDF to create a new Formdesk entry. Test with a representative document.
